Defunct UK channel?

So there once used to be a TV channel airing sports from the mid 80s to the early 90s. It broadcasted in the UK and Europe. I remember watching it until Eurosport existed. What is it? It's driving me crazy!

I think it might be Screensport. My older brother used to watch football on it. Or was it cricket? I can't remember!

Ah, Screensport, when TV was in its golden age and not just about reality trash. Truly miss those days.

Yeah it's Screensport! It was launched as Satellite Television Sport Club, then renamed Screensport and operated from '84 till '93 when it went into liquidation after threat of a Eurosport merger.

From your description, it sounds like Screensport, launched in '84 and ran until the early 90s. They even attempted a joint venture with Eurosport but went defunct after that didn't work out.

OMG! I totally remember, Screensport was the name! Used to watch wrestling on it all the time.

I reckon you might be referring to the old 'Screensport' channel mate. They used to broadcast various sports before getting taken over by Eurosport in '93.
