I was the same with "SBS" here in Australia, (where I first saw FÅ about 15 years ago), and "World Movies Channel" on pay TV.
Always had a browse through their week's programs so I could record anything that took my fancy.
We got the British stations like BBC, BBC 2, ITV and Channel 4. this is before all Satellite channel's and stuff kicked in, was a bit expensive back for anyone to splash on. Channel 4 used to be great to screen foreign film's and I caught all of Bergman's film's when they screened a season of his films every Sunday night after 12 for weeks. Then once they set up their own film channel (which back then you had to pay for) so that screwed that up. BBC 2 was great too, but once they created BBC 3 then just stuck all foreign and Indie films on there, lucky during that time they screened Fucking Amal that it was free channel, a few weeks later it went straight to the Satellite channel's.
Irish station I was talking about "RTE 2" always had foreign films on but they always changed the days. In the 90's they used to be on Wednesday nights but then they moved them to Monday's in the wee hours of the morning (i was secondary school then, High school I think it's called in Australia, so unless the films was must see I wouldn't stay up), then finally they moved it to Saturday night's and screened two foreign films back to back. Fucking Amal was the second film on that night, that's the last time it was screened on Irish TV.
