BSB Test Cards

The innovative satellite service was very short-lived, merging with Sky Television in 1990.
Each channel had a unique themed test card, brought back to life here.

	Galaxy A general entertainment channel, similar to Sky One.
The Power Station, BSBs version of MTV. It was actually quite good, because it was aimed at the British market, rather than Europe as a whole. It was also where Chris Evans got his TV debut, hosting the breakfast show "Power Up". The show was pretty crap, and everyone wondered who the idiot was. Now we know! Whenever you see a resume of Chris Evans' career, his time at BSB is always omitted...
	This is my personal favourite of the BSB cards, the one for the Movie Channel. This is the only channel that survived the merger with Sky Television.Unfortunately, the test card did not survive the change of ownership.
Now! A sort of news and magazine programmes channel. It was the first to go when Murdoch took over.
	and finally The Sports Channel. That concludes our journey down BSB memory lane, I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any Sky test cards, I would be grateful of a copy!
