Background
The Arts Channel was an early European satellite channel, which at one point shared airtime with Sky One, at the time known as the Sky Channel. The Sky Channel signal was not encrypted until 1 September 1993, but The Arts Channel nevertheless aired a copyright warning at the end of the day's programmes.
