Performance Channel was an arts and entertainment television channel that broadcasted in the United Kingdom, on the Sky Digital platform. Performance Channel launched in 1985 and was an evening cable-only service for many years. The channel started broadcasting on Sky Digital in 1998 and its broadcast hours expanded. The channel was dropped from cable networks shortly afterwards.

The channel broadcasted concerts, performances, master classes and star profiles from noted composers and musicians. Music featured included jazz and easy listening, as well as opera and classical. The channel also featured dance performances as well as interviews with noted actors and performers.

Performance Channel tended to offer more high culture in its schedules, than it's sister channel Performance MainStreet which concentrates more on rock and pop music programming.

The Performance Channel was closed down at 6.00am on the 1st July 2008 after nearly 25 years of broadcasting. [ [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcasting/a103607/performance-channel-to-end-after-23-years.html Broadcasting - News - Performance Channel to end after 23 years - Digital Spy ] ]
