Following the merger of British Satellite Broadcasting and Sky Television, Now was replaced by Sky News.
However, some of the arts programming from Now continued on the Macropolo satellite (owned by British Satellite Broadcasting prior to the merger). This was achieved by opting out of Marcopolo’s Sky News relay at weekends, to show the Sky Arts channel.
Sky News continued uninterrupted at weekends on the existing Astra satellite service.
