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.
