SKY Channel turns 28 on April 26th 2010 because Satellite Television first began in 1982 and in 1984 Satellite Television was named as SKY Channel.

SKY Channel is real cool and I miss it alot

Wow, the fanfare is right out of Erlang the Movie. :)

Anyhow it went downhill with Sky when Murdoc bought it.
