Holy crap! Thank you so so much for posting this! It's my like a timewarp to my childhood...Alf, Eurosport, Sky Movies, The DJ Kat Show...I decided to look for this on a whim, not seriously expecting to find it, but wow! I actually remember alot of the lyrics to this promo...sad but true - 2 thumbs up on earthing this incredibly dated, but - for me - incredibly cherished piece. Cheerio!
Despite being quite "American" to some, the production and, erm, "coolness" found here destroyed everything that UK terrestrial TV was doing at the time. The indents seemed cinematic and despite the lack of UK programmes and overall input, Sky TV was incredibly attractive in the late 80s.
Notice the focus on people and their lives. Like Sky TV can help that. But it worked.
one of the faces thats was featured in this promo was
kay burley for sky news and she still presents it now.

I will never understand why this track was not released as a single to buy. Still love it today.

in Australia, it was copied from Nine Network with the same slogan as ABC. in New Zealand, it was copied by TV2 with different lyrics.

this stinks so bad. A very, very turd encrusted imitation. In what sense exactly could Sky possibly claim to be The One in 1989?
And how long did it take Sky to start producing its own drama, albeit drivel?

Actually, no.
Despite being quite "American" to some, the production and, erm, "coolness" found here destroyed everything that UK terrestrial TV was doing at the time. The indents seemed cinematic and despite the lack of UK programmes and overall input, Sky TV was incredibly attractive in the late 80s.
