Sportsplay

== 1985-87 ==
 
Sportsplay, one of three Australian hotel television channels that emerged following the launch of the AUSSAT A1 Satellite, commenced transmission on 1 December 1986 with programming consisting of harness racing and greyhound racing from around Australia and distributed to hotels and clubs.
Financial troubles, along with losing hotel market share to Sky Channel, a failed attempt to apply for broadcasting rights to VFL matches and reported losses of up to $1 million per month in 1987 saw the channel be bought up by Bond Media and absorbed into Sky Channel (now Sky Racing) in November 1987.
