British Sky Broadcasting
Group ('BSkyB') is changing the face of entertainment. More than
15 million viewers in 6.1 million households enjoy an unprecedented choice
of movies, news, entertainment and sports channels and interactive services
on Sky digital, the UK's first - and Europe's fastest growing - broadband
digital television platform.
In addition to offering
more than 200 channels, Sky digital, which launched in October 1998, offers
a range of innovative interactive services that allow viewers to send emails,
shop on screen, play games, select their own camera angles, vote, place
bets and manage their finances - all via their TV. BSkyB again demonstrated
its flair for innovation with the introduction in 2001 of the next-generation
integrated digital satellite set-top
box/personal video recorder,
Sky+.
BSkyB's own channels,
such as Sky News and Sky Sports, are available in a further 4.1 million
cable homes in the UK and Ireland.
