Sky Television | Main Idents #02 | 1990 - 1993

A little bit of nostaliga - Sky TV idents from 1990-1993. This was 'ye old days' when you could make a cup of tea in the kitchen and never fear about missing the start of your favourite shows because you could hear an ident intro for the show that is clear and instantly recognisable.
Edited together.... a blast from the past.....

The early 90's, when satellite TV felt special and those indents were the cherry on top.

I hate how it has to zoom out and the announcer say that is part of sky. I mean, it’s clearly obvious based on the channel name alone! The movie channel who?

[@SOSOwner]

Originally a BSB channel, retained after BSB merged with Sky (to form BSkyB). Not renamed until the late-90s.

@@SOSOwner whoosh

[@firstgen3761]

Example: British Satellite Broadcasting Merges with Sky Television and becomes British Sky Broadcasting, and BSB went defunct and Became Sky Group in UK, and USA.

[@firstgen3761]

Also, SPOILER ALERT! The Movie Channel was changed to Sky Movies Screen 2 on December of 1997, then Became Sky movies Premier on September 1998-July 2016, and was Now changed to Sky Cinema Premiere in 2017.

I was team SKY all the way. These idents bring back great memories of being a teenager and this really was a tv revolution in the uk back then.
