"Exciting" Cable news

 God knows how I managed to luck into this but it seems Archive.org have come up trumps once again. 

Actually I know full well how I got there, looking for stuff on Video Buyer and User magazine. But what we have here was literally the unsearchable. A full scan of the magazine we got in the mail from Cable and Wireless every month or Videotron as it became.

There is HVC or Home Video Channel  which was always scrambled, and was part of the adult channel. 

 Also not being Indian or of South Asian heritage there are listings for Indra Dhnush which has information here. Finally there is the pre NBC Superchannel with the looping dog animation and Voltron but no Conan O'brien or Tonight Show with Jay Leno. 

The Children's Channel bit is causing me some grief as some of these do not ring a bell. Stories without words was normally Bunny With Chequered Ears / Teddy Dropear. But this suggests some stuff which I don't remember. 

Anyway if you want to check out what August 1991 was like for us go here.
