I also remeber EBN - on Astra 1 in the mornings part of Sky encrypted, yet also on Eutelsat 13º in the clear 24/7. I used to watch the Media Report - starting on EBN, it continued for a short while after EBN "merged" (i.e. was taken over) with CNBC but ultimately all magazine programmes were dropped from CNBC.
I used to get EBN on Eutelsat II-F1 with a 1.2m motorised satellite dish setup with stereosound on 7.02/7.20Mhz PANDA1 PAL clear. Cable operators took this 24h feed but odd ones took the shared EBN/Bravo/Adult Channel Videocrypt1 PAL feed from the

Indeed but cable dropped EBN - well Bell Cablemedia did - on 1 September 1996, the same day it dropped CMT. As you say, it was on satellite between 6am and 12noon and was replaced by CNBC and eventually that 6am to 12noon window for CNBC appeared on Cable & Wireless although I think that also went when C&W dropped Bravo and Trouble in late 1998.
