two british versions of american channels closed, ABC = ABC1 closed, NBC = NBC Europe closed, I would prefer to watch shows on a channel that is owned by the same company in the US, the only successful one has been FX UK which I have now probably jinxed and will be closing soon.
In an ironic note, the famous "NBC" chimes that date back to 1929 are the notes G,E,C, the initials of NBC's present owners, General Electric Corporation.
Yep, they took over Superchannel in 1993 and to begin with, it was called NBC Superchannel but by the time the station ended in 1998, it was called NBC Europe.
Orion used that slogan for their torrenting in 2003.

'...Where the stars come out at night'. Soap Opera cast members must hate that line.

Hey, that's the guy who plays the voice of "B" from "Tearjerker". Some other spoof from the movie "Goldfinger".

They closed because they couldn't get full broadcast hours on Freeview digital terrestrial television in the United Kingdom.

@MrUnidyne And that's "ironic" why? I don't think your brain quite knows what ironic means. Nice try though.
