BBC TV Europe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BBC TV Europe was a BBC subscription-funded television service founded in 1987 serving continental Europe. It was available on satellite and cable.

The channel broadcast a mix of programmes shown on BBC One and BBC Two in the United Kingdom, as well as the BBC's domestic Six O'Clock News bulletin together with the regional news service from London. When a programme on BBC One could not be shown on the channel for rights reasons, this would be replaced with a programme shown on BBC Two.

In 1991, the channel was replaced by BBC World Service Television, which was later replaced itself by BBC World and BBC Prime in 1995.
