it's the best we can get for now until Sky sort themselves out and give us country fans a music channel.

Sky Group (a division of Comcast) does not own or run any music channels. 

A handful of such channels remain accessible through the Sky platform, typically in SD to save cost in what's essentially a financially unviable niche once royalties and data transit fees have been paid.

@TimmyBGood such a pity as there were about 1 1/2 million viewers watching the country spotlight nights.  I was trying to help other country fans on here as I only found the 186 channel by accident. I presume others don't know either.  Hopefully people will see my comment we can have our country music nights back. All be it a few hours.

@bob1234 thanks.  No it was a country music channel where we can watch the videos we were wanting. I've got the country channels on my radio etc. but thank you.

I just wanted to spread the word to other fans that we can still get 2 hrs one night and an hour the next. As most probably don't know as I only fell on it by accident..

@Daniel0210 it was mainly the first half of the comment to help other country fans out as I only found it by accident.  I was trying to give the info to help them so they can watch too.  I only found it by accident.  The spotlight channel used to get approx 1 1/2 milion views and looking at forums they didn't know about this channel.  Was perky trying to help.  It sad that we have lost the only channel bar this one for us fans

1. @PauLia just Incase you missed my comment sorry I'm not on here much not sure if I've done this right.  I saw by your comment you were wanting country music on Sky as do many of us.
2. I totally found it by accident.  They play country music on sky channel 186 Ayozat ch. Thursday morning 1am for 2hrs (pure country and big T).  Then Fri morning 1am Phil's international country show.  I found that they're hit and miss but the Phil's Int on is the more up to date country the other 2 alternate between old and new. Enjoy

A lot of the programmes are now televised on Ayozat TV, it's a free viewing channel. Spotlight TV has been renamed Music and Memories and can be viewed on Channelbox app
