Airing of BBC Channels in Western Europe and closedown

1. I was able to see BBC1 and 2 outside the UK in 2003. Is it possible to still see those channels along with the other BBC channels outside the UK?

2. I have noticed that it wasn't until recently that BBC started having its main channels go 24 hours a day. Since when did both BBC1 and 2 broadcast 24/7? And when they had to closedown for the night, at what times did they usually sign-off and sign-on back again on the following day?

Well, in the Netherlands (where I live) everyone can see BB1 and BB2. and digital TV users can also see BB3, BB4 and BBC World News. Peter Maas\^talk 19:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1980s BBC satellite channels

Does anybody know what became of the BBC plans to launch two satellite channels in 1986? There's a Times Article on the subject from 1982, but not much else, and I've Googled this to death. I'd be interested to know so I could add the information to the relevant articles. Thanks TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the BBC transmitter in London

This would be usefully clarified.
