Re: Cable exclusive channels

As 'Kindernet' was only in Netherlands and 'Yesterday in the Commons' was only in the UK - they would not share a channel number.

All cable companies had their own numbers -so for example 'L!ve TV' in Oxford would be different to 'L!ve TV' in Swindon and different again to 'L!ve TV' in Reading.

Cartoon Network and TNT would only share a number in an area where they were both on the same channel number.

Going back to my files in 2006:
In Norwich on channel 19 was 'Cartoon Network' from 5am to 9pm and TNT from 9pm to 5am
In Milton Keynes on channel 22 was 'Cartoon Network' from 5am to 7pm and TNT from 7pm to 5am
Some areas have 'Granada Men & Motors' on its own channel but other areas had it sharing a channel number.

Channel numbers only came into line with digital platforms on cable.
