Launched on 30 October 1985, Lifestyle was a British daytime television channel dedicated to women and family, and was broadcast on cable and on the transponder 5 of the Astra satellite. Lifestyle's lineup consisted on magazines, novelas and movies. The programming was linked by an in vision continuity announcer, David Hamilton. It closed down on 31 January 1993 and transponder 5's programming was eventually replaced by VOX.
In 1980, from 11pm to 6am the transponder was used to broadcast the Lifestyle Satellite Jukebox, a music video request channel which also ended in 1993. The hours between the ending of Lifestyle's programmes and the start of satellite Jukebox were filled by Sell-a-Vison home shopping programmes. For a time, The Children's Channel also transmitted on transponder 5, airing during the early morning before Lifestyle programming started.
A separate Lifestyle Channel was also available on some Rediffusion Cable networks.
