In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

The early Sky Arts
Shouldn't the portions about the 1990 Sky Arts be moved to Now (British TV channel), so this article can focus solely on what was originally launched in 2000 as Artsworld? JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 17:08, 11 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Good question - but personally I don't think that would be useful. The 'Now' channel was an entirely different entity in terms of initial ownership, and only carried 'Sky Arts' programming on an occasional part-time basis for a short period of time. Whereas 'Sky Arts' as a full-time standalone channel was something which Sky advertised at the very beginning of its broadcasting in 1988 - so its eventual appearance seems more relevant in an article about the full-time standalone channel which the company now operates.

 * How about this?
 * Move portions about the 1989 attempt to Sky Television plc, but also write that the newly merged BSkyB would replace Now on Marcopolo with Sky News and Sky Arts.
 * Move portions about the 1990 replacement of Now to Now (British TV channel), and give some brief mentions about the 1989 attempt and 2003 acquisition of Artsworld.
 * In this article, give a brief explanation about the 1989 attempt and the 1990 replacement of Now as a background knowledge; place it after a sentence about BSkyB's initial acquisition of Artsworld in 2003.
