Doesn't look like it was an independent/outsourced production either. Very weird.
I've always wondered why The Power Station wasn't immediately booted off - it was the only one of the BSB closure channels to get British Sky Broadcasting rebranding. Either they were considering keeping it and adding to Astra (as they did Movie Channel and eventually Sports) or they simply couldn't work out what to replace it with. If I was a BSB viewer I'd have been rather annoyed to see my 4 channel subscription-free service dropped to only 3 channels free, but then I suppose these were are the breaks for early adoption...
I would imagine that it had more to do with contractual obligation to air the concerts and such that the channel was known for. It only survived another 5 months
