Showcase TV
Although it appears with the name "Showcase TV" on the Information TV official website, the channel launched as "Showcase" on the Sky platform on channel 216 in the UK on 8 February 2010, perhaps to avoid confusion with defunct CSC Media Group channel Showcase TV.
As of 21 April 2010 Showcase was moved to channel 201 and Showcase 2 was launched on channel 216 replacing the Unexplained Channel. On 5 July 2010, Showcase was launched on Freesat channel 403, moving to channel 400 on 19 September 2012.
On 1 September 2010 Showcase 2 was moved to channel 203, with channel 216 becoming a 1 hour time shift channel for Showcase (Showcase +1).
Showcase was formerly Information TV 2 on channel 167. On the 1 October 2009, Information TV 2 ceased broadcasting after Quest acquired the EPG slot on Sky. On 23 November 2010, WTF acquired the Sky EPG slot for Showcase +1. On 1 December 2011, Showcase +1 relaunched on Sky channel 235 but closed again on 6 June 2012.
