Older "premium tv channels" (e.g. Canal+, TV1000, etc), that broadcast in multiple countries?

Hi.

Especially before the "streaming age", there were (and probably still are to some degree) different "premium" pay tv channels for movies and sports. For example, "Canal+" was based on France, but it had also Canal+ in Nordic countries etc. Then again, for example "TV1000" is Swedish, but the channels were also available in other Nordic countries (meaning, that basically the same "TV1000" or "TV1000 Cinema" (etc) channels was broadcast in several countries - not just in Sweden). Again, these are just a few examples and there were (still are) several pay tv channels around the world.

Are there some "rules" when adding these? Perhaps meaning, that if some film is shown in "TV1000" in 2001 (meaning Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark), we still "only" add "TV1000 (sv)" (since it's a parent channel)? I mean with channels like "TV1000", the programming was probably identical to every Nordic countries (I'm not an expert, though). "TV1000" was later rebranded to "Viasat".

Then again with channels like "Canal+", the programming was most likely very different in Canal+ France, and Canal+ Sweden (or should I say, Canal+ "Nordic"). Same name, different channels.

Thanks.
