UK satellite channels ident audio 1980s

Ident music from some UK satellite channels in the late 1980s. AUDIO ONLY with channel logos. The quality/EQ is not great and I more or less digitised as-is from audio cassettes. I'm not aware of having any other similar video or audio clips.
This upload is for the purpose of sharing fond memories with others of the same interests, and obviously I do not own the rights to the logos or music.

Contains:

Part of the Sky Channel 'Reaching Out To You' song. The clip here is taken from a Coventry Cable promotion and so has voice over it. I would love to get hold of the full proper version.

Children's Channel. Interlude music, main ident, and Roustabout theme.

Weekend Lifestyle: Ident and bed/theme.

Screensport: Closedown bed/theme.

TV5: Main ident.

Did coventry cable ever do FM stereo television sound via FM frequencies as some cablenets around the UK did? Some did before NICAM Stereo came along;then after NICAM Stereo came along, some cablecos received the stereo 7.02/7.20Mhz PANDA1 soundtracks from satellite channels and encoded them in NICAM 728 with a NICAM catv encoder passing them onto subscribers that way for people with NICAM VCR's and TV's.

@AnthonyUK Yes, they did for a few channels. From memory I recall Sky Channel and Premiere being on FM.

Hi there!!

Amazing that you have those "TCC" recordings! Nostalgia;)

I was wondering if you have a longer version of the first TCC song??

Take care!

Hello, no, I don't think I do.

That music was used on one of their 'time filler' animations which varied in transmitted length. My recording was just from one moment in time, which of course may have been shorter or longer than other times.

@leecovuk

I see... I thought you've been putting it together yourself.

Thank you anyway!

@olofj11

It may have confused you a bit because I've only uploaded audio with still logos, rather than full video/audio. ie I can see why you may have assumed I had created some special audio edits. But no, it just happens I had copied the original audio from VHS to audio cassette years ago. Sadly I didn't keep / can't find those VHS tapes therefore have lost the original video/pictures.

@leecovuk not have the audio from cable TV channels in the UK?

@leecovuk Thanks for the video upload and I too would like to get a hold of the full SKY Channel theme too.
