BBC Knowledge prelaunch 1999

Knowledge is fundamental to an informed society. So it is, then, that the BBC launched a new channel all about it in 1999. Sadly, knowing things was not popular, so they closed it down less than three years later.

Hi, I can probably predict the answer to this, but do you have any of those long BBC Knowledge promos that used to air on loop before the channel launched, as well as in the early days? They aired usually when the channel had closed for the day. It was basically a mix of very short idents for TV Shows, mixed with random people saying "You're watching BBC Knowledge!"
