Galaxy, one of the five channels run by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB), was the General Entertainment channel, it carried quite a few American imports as well as a few home grown shows, fans will remember the soap set in space Jupiter Moon, and the magazine show 31 West, who got thier name from the actual placing of the Marcopolo Satellite at 31 degrees west, that was broadcasting the channel. It had a section of childrens programmes called the Galaxy Club, which contained quite a bit of home grown programming, mixed with imported cartoons and series such as the cartoons Spiderman and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, this broadcast during the week, in a kind of 'before and after school' slot and on a Saturday with an afternoon show called 'Cool Cube', This was sometimes cancelled to make way for special weekends, such as the Galaxys Doctor Who marathon over the weekend of September 22-23 1990.

The channel however was short lived after the merger of BSB and Sky, and the transponder was given over to Sky One, who took a couple of the programmes from Galaxy and incorporated them into its channels line up.
