| 443.1 | UK Only ?? | JGO::VEUGER | Thu Jan 26 1995 05:44 | 7 | |
Is it a UK only channel, like Sky One, Sports, movie channels or a
UK & Continental channel like Discovery, CMT ?
If it's gonna be a UK only, I'm forced to do something illegal... ;)

It was only a short news comment in a magazine but the way it read it is going to be part of the Sky packages so indeed you may be driven to do something slightly illegal depending on your location. I also believe that there is going to be a German language Disney Channel somewhere but can't remember the details. It may be using the same video channel but using different sound subcarriers ala Eurosport. But then the Autumn is a long way off and we all know what happened with the Disney Channel on BSB (that was). | |||||

RTL is starting Super RTL on the old RTL 4 transponder on Astra 1b.
After RTL-International and RTL 2 it will be the third German channel
from Luxembourg.
Super RTL has a *BIG* contract with Disney and will start on March 1.
