Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2019)
When the Sky multi channel analogue package launched on 5th Feb 1989 - Sky Channel kept it's name.
It didn't become Sky 1 until July 1989 when it became a UK and Ireland only service. Sky 2 was still several years away.
The original channel "SATV" which later became Sky Channel - pre-dates Channel Four.
ScreenSport, Lifestyle, The Children's Channel and MTV Europe were all on air on satellite as cable channels before the Sky multi-channel launch.
