I've posted this several times, and NO ONE has replied yet! Please reply
soon. Message is: I've heard some rumors that there may be a new channel launching soon in the United States called "SKY America", which I believe will carry programs like "Blockbusters" and SKY-related programs (not like the American programs on SKY Channel, or SKY One, because of the licenses FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS, and others has for those). Someone told me it would, more or less, go on DirecTV because Hughes was bought in part by B-SKY-B not too long ago. Can anyone tell me whether or not B-SKY-B will launch this channel anytime soon? (Obviously, SKY is only doing this because of the success Discovery's had with BBC America, but no complaints here!) Futhurmore, can anyone tell me specifically on which satellite/cable providors? Currently, DirecTV, Echostar's Dish Network, and Time Warner Cable (here in El Paso) has BBC America, but I've been told the likelihood of Echostar getting SKY America is slim to none. However, we have TWCable now, so I was wondering if Time Warner Communications would pick up a contract for SKY America? So far, we've only been able to see a half-an-hour of SKY Sports on FOX Sports World via Satellite (and some digi cable providors) and I'd like to see SKY News again as well as some of the other programming from other channels, ESPECIALLY since I've been told SKY has changed to orang-ish idents recently. Cheers! |

Perhaps no one knows? Not likely we'd know anything this side of the
Atlantic, I'd have thought. Regards Mark |

If you don't get an answer try looking somewhere else - don't whine about not getting a response now/in future, if you post again. Clem |

Ah, okay. I mistook the tone. Though you were saying "Sky America"...isn't
it! Like a condescending tone... "Ian F." wrote in message ... "Danny Radcliffe from HP" wrote in message m... The link is for a flight simulator game...NOT for a television channel!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's why I said it clearly *isn't* it! *sigh* Ian |
