Chris Evans Breakfast Show
For a few weeks in 1998, listeners to The Ginger One's Virgin Radio Breakfast Show could watch him presenting the show simultaneously on Sky One. Why the hell would anyone want to listen, let alone watch?! The starry jingle adopts the ident tune composed by Wally Stott in 1969 for ATV, as performed by Jack Parnell and his orchestra.
Deadly Ernest Horror Show
Early sky channel horror show with presentation links during the commercial breaks. Starring Jack Hardy and ex page 3 model Jilly Johnson, the two would link into Horror and Scifi low budget movies.
Sky By Day
Sky's budget daily daytime show hosted by Tony Blackburn, not a patch on This Morning which would have been on the other side.

Those Were The Days
Angela Rippon presents a look back at what was making the news on this day "all those years ago". Look out for the conducting dog!
The Secret Video Show
Brought to you by JVC ("The inventors of VHS"), The Secret Video Show was a series of home video bloopers, much like the recently launched ITV show "You've Been Framed!" Chris Tarrant is your host. Watch out for a young Peter Simon (Run The Risk and Bid.tv auctioneer) in the opening sequences. And, am I seeing things, but is that the Fantom Flan Flinger wielding a video camera?
Sky Radio Denmark Commercial
A commercial for the news Sky Radio, they used Sky News in UK as a package to pretend this was a newscast. The news anchor says that the new non-stop music radio is launced all over Denmark and a map of all frequncies are shown. Then the anchor says this was the news from Sky News.. and it ends with the jingle from Sky Radio. This clip is from around 1994. The radio station closed down in 2008.
