So long, Sky One. I’ll always remember watching The Simpsons on you. That new channel has potential, yet some may clammer for your return. We bid you goodnight.
Fun Fact: The last 2008 Sky One idents shown (the one where the man is floating wrapped in pieces of the 1) is actually an ident themed of the American tv show “LOST”. That guy is one of the characters from the show, and the 1 is in place of the big reactor from the show bunker!
The 90s disappear further into history. If you ever saw a Sky One ident then, or a Simpsons episode not on BBC, either your parents were loaded or for those of us in NI you were visiting a relative or otherwise on holiday in the Republic, and were watching on cable. The week's holiday in Dublin every year for me meant watching Sky One with breakfast! How exotic! I remember watching Blockbusters on the channel one year when arriving at the caravan park. Amazing idents, a window into an alien world across the Atlantic, and sometimes the Pacific, too (Australia), and one of the biggest reasons why The Simpsons has lasted as long as it has. Truly the end of a TV era. Sky One. Take a bow.
It’s a shame Sky One is going away, but as the saying goes “This too shall pass.” Everything will have a start and an end. At least it existed, and that’s what’s most important. I hope Sky finds success with their use of what’s essentially category channels as instead of a traditional channel. I hope someone records the channels final moments as well, that’s valuable history XD Rest well, Sky One. You’ll definitely be remembered by millions.
Fab ident review as always Adam! I first got Sky in ‘95, so I never saw anything before the tombstones. Shocked that they’re getting rid of Sky 1 ☹️. I hope someone uploads the closure.
Being an avid viewer of the Simpsons (starting off in 2020) I saw the domino Sky One ident every single time it was about to start, it was literally the only one I could remember. And though I thought I'd get really tired of it, the SFX used is appealing and cosy, especially considering what would pop up next. Good Ident Review episode, Adam! It was very interesting to see ident batches I've really never seen before and your thoughts on it. Sad that Sky One is being phased out soon, even if it didn't need to be.
The Tombstone style was from before we got Sky in my house but it does remind me of going round my neighbors to watch the channel or when I was on holiday that had a ‘TV room’ The ‘dish’ logo and the square logo of the 90s are my eras. Haven’t lived in a house with Sky in since 2011 ish though so don’t have much nostalgia for the others. Looking at all of these I definitely prefer where the ‘one’ is written rather than the numeral.
The 1997 idents are the most 90s thing I’ve ever seen 😂 Got to think about the time though, turn of the millennium coming up and start of digital broadcasting
2:18 - Sky Channel - circa February 1989 3:55 - Sky One (with a sans-serif font for the 'ONE') - circa 1990 4:31 - Sky One (with a script font for the 'One') - 30 July 1989 5:44 - Sky Multi Channels era - 1 September 1993 7:07 - Tombstone era • Tombstone first variant - early 1995 • Tombstone second variant - 1 September 1996 8:42 - 'Egg' era - 1 November 1997 10:40 - Sky Digital launched and 10 year anniversary of Sky One - 31 May 1998 12:54 - 7 January 2002 14:44 - 21 September 2004 17:11 - 31 August 2008 20:24 - 1 February 2011 22:23 - 19 April 2016 24:20 - 9 October 2017 26:14 - 7 April 2020
Yep Adam, That’s a great choice of a channel nearly to be replaced by another channel! And also it’s pretty weird it’s the second longest Ident Review ever! And also, Sky Replay will also end with Sky One. But Sky Replay will turn into Sky Showcase. Sky One will turn into another channel called “Sky Max”, featuring most panel shows (A League Of Their Own, Never Mind The Buzzcocks reboot). Most of the comedy shows on Sky One will go onto Sky Comedy. But “The Simpsons” will go onto Sky Showcase.
These take me back. My family didn't get Sky until 1996 so the Tombstone ident (and its variants for the other Sky channels) will always be my favourite. I watched so much Star Trek during that time. The 1998 ident just makes me think of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Friends.
Ireland began receiving Sky Channel (Sky One) around 1987 via cable television. Ireland had cable television since the late 60's / early 70's, receiving British channels (BBC 1 Northern Ireland, BBC 2 and Ulster Television (Channel 4 came later) or BBC 1 Wales, BBC 2 and HTV Wales (S4C came later), depending on where you lived and what channels the cable operator broadcasted). Around 1987, certain cable companies, especially in cities such as Dublin, Cork and Waterford, began showing satellite channels such as Sky Channel, Super Channel, Screensport, Lifestyle and The Children's Channel. Others came along later. According to a Sky Channel Network Summary from June 1987, Ireland had more viewers watching the channel than Britain did, with just over 813,000 viewers in Ireland as oppose to only 688,000 viewers in Britain. You can see the summary on this video here around the 50 minute mark: th-cam.com/video/sdl1xW7--WA/w-d-xo.html
@@rogerdarthwell5393 Super Channel was a Pan-European satellite channel, just like Sky Channel, but was more focused on British programmes from the BBC and ITV, where as Sky Channel were more focused on American programmes. Super Channel opened in 1987, taking over the transponder for Music Box, a 24 hour a day music channel. Some of their programmes went over to Super Channel. They continued to broadcast British programmes until the early 1990's, when they were taken over by NBC from America and the channel was renamed NBC Super Channel. I think they showed mainly documentaries and news programmes at this time.
Sky Atlantic has a lot to blame in the demise of Sky One. But it has been clear nobody cared about it for the last 20 years. With any luck Viacom CBS might do us all a favour and close down MTV. Shame to see two powerhouses of the 90's are now channels nobody cares about.
so sad to see sky one go. Sky one was first channel I watched when i got Sky (SD) back in 90s. First show i wathced was simpsons. Was such a great alternative to bbc and did like how programs like dream team and other shows. It will be missed
Why on earth does the music of the 2011 idents remind me of "The Fear" by Lily Allen (love that song!). It's like they couldn't come up with something more original.
That first Sky One logo that was made in the USA made satellite television so different to what we'd be used to previously. You knew you were watching something different and after that some of them were utter rubbish
I have no idea why they decided to change Sky One into Sky Showcase? Sure, they never had the best content. Sure in its last few years, it just became a dumping ground for Simpsons re-runs. But if you really dissect Sky One, you’ll find it’s actually way better than Sky Showcase.
oh yea, looking through TV Ark, there is one set of idents that you've forgotten but I don't blame you, it's just a bunch of waves with the Sky One logo on top. Lazy and Bland.
@Adam Martyn Please note that both Sky One's musical themes from 1989 and 1993 were composed by Gari Communications in Nashville, TN - United States of America, although you may prefer much more the music that they've used in 1989 to '93 than it's sucessor, which sometimes is also my case with most satellite and cable television idents from the past decades. What is your opinion about this?
Does anyone have the other Animaktion Sky One ident with the spaceman looking through his binoculars at his space pod and jumps onto sprays cans going into his pod? I’ve been looking for that idents for ages
For So Long Time Ago In 1982! sky one was launched in that year! In 2008! sky one terrorismed you,and look at sky one's clothes they are amazing,they commurted sky one for a long time but in 2016 sky 1 is like a 1 in 2016,in 2017 sky one was lettered form of itself,I can't help it with loving sky one,on channel 4 simpsons ident was in pieces
If Sky 1 Was Made In Prisma3D And Find Out That Sky 1 IN 2017 SKY 1 WAS LETTERED FORM A SUPPORED TO A SKY ONE AS ROMAN NUMBER AND SKY ONE WITH A NICE LOOK AT THE SAME PLACE AT THE TOP OF SKY ONE'S BIRTHDAY AND SKY NETWORK CREATED SKY ONE IN 1982 AND TO BE HONEST I LOVE SKY ONE SO MUCH ❤❤SKY ONE IS THE BEST CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!!!!!
The vast majority of these are absolute garbage. Sky One hasn’t had a good ident since the 1990s, with the original Sky One ident and the tombstones being the best examples. The rest, from the onset of Sky Digital are pure, liquid shite. Sky in the 1990s had a premium, exclusive feel to it a - as reflected in the idents. As it became a lot more accessible in the 2000s, it became just another broadcaster and Sky One in particular totally lost its personality. There are so many obvious examples of them trying to copy the far superior E4 and Channel 4 idents, and they didn’t get close.
I hardly ever watched Sky One. Couldn't stand the annoying announcers talking over the end credits of shows. I was more UK Gold or at least I was back when it was a proper classic TV channel not the abomination it is now.
Another stellar episode pal! It's a shame to see Sky One go really, I can't see its successor doing anything remotely as good in terms of style, but I'm welcome to be surprised. In terms of these idents, I mean I very much have vivid memories of seeing the 2002 style in my youth (mainly thanks to childhood hype surrounding the 300th episode of the Simpsons lmao) but I don't think anything really tops the Tombstones looking back. For the modern era though, definitely the first "1" in 2008 too, those were awesome. Never gelled with the current idents at all. But yeah. RIP Sky One. Been a privilege knowing ya.
The 2008-11 idents (The ones with the blue glass shards) are the best ones in my opinion and were used for Sky 2 (Which used green slime) and Sky 3 (Purple smoke) as well and should also be reviewed. P.S. I think you should also review the Sky Movies idents from 2011-16 as it was the same ident over and over but would stop at a certain genre of film depending on which one you’re watching. (Except for the Christmas variant and the Disney one which is either Disney related memorabilia or ends on the Disney castle)
I remember when Cablelink started carrying Sky One (along with Super Channel and a few other weird ones) in Ireland back around 1991/92 when I was about 10 years old. It felt so futuristic and world-bridging...
Huge mistake by Sky to get rid of Sky 1. Now it's Showcase or Max or something?? Who was the "genius", not, to come up with that, way way way better alternative? I think a lot of Sky customers feel disconnected now, it's a product now that nobody can relate to.
*AMAZING* Ident Review once again! Do you know what? Those Sky One idents are really brilliant, especially the 1989 ident! And... oh my god, this is probably one of - if not - _the longest Ident Review you've ever did!_ (Along with VPRO Idents!) I even can't pick a favourite ident out of Sky One, but I guess it would probably be the 1989 ident, as the graphics and animation are very good for the time. And... wait. WHAT?! Sky One will be retired and get replaced with Sky Showcase?! 🌎 *No!* That's a very big shame indeed! I can't believe that Sky One will get retired! The other Sky UK channels like Sky Two and Sky Three also got rebranded! This is so sad! Rest in peace to Sky Channel/Sky One (1984-2021)!
I'll definetily miss Sky One because it was the only channel where I'd sit down and watch The Simpsons or Futurama. Great review, as always. One day, I want to make an ident review show just like this(im obbsessed with idents). RIP Sky One (1982-2021)
I did like Sky One but I was of a Sky Two guy Sky 2 started in 1996 timesharing with Fox Kids programmes were very different the only show that was shown on both Sky 1 and 2 was Hit Mix Longplay on the 3st August 1997 it was taken off the air due to the death of Princess Diana Sky 2 retuned under the name Sky One Mix later on one was removed from the logo and the channel became Sky Mix the it became Sky 2 and it's now Sky Replay

I remember the 2004 idents getting panned by some critics due to the logo design. "Is it Sky One or Sky Onc?" was one of them.

Nothing will ever beat the 1989-1992 idents. The style and the music made you want to be part of the SKY ONE world.
8:42 - it's the ident equivalent of the "how do you do, fellow kids" meme.
It’s a shame Sky One is going away, but as the saying goes “This too shall pass.” Everything will have a start and an end. At least it existed, and that’s what’s most important.

Sky max has the same programming so it’s basically sky two

dont stop making these, theyre amazing
"soon to be retired" sky one quote gave me chills
Fab ident review as always Adam! I first got Sky in ‘95, so I never saw anything before the tombstones. Shocked that they’re getting rid of Sky 1 ☹️. I hope someone uploads the closure.
Thank you Jenny! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 I'm sure there will be someone who'll capture the big moment!
I swear if someone doesn’t record it, that’s some heavy history lost to time XD
The closure was underwhelming imo. It just went straight to Sky Max.
I still say BSB should've gotten a fairer shot.

@@AdamMartyn It looks like a set of Rejected Channel 4 idents
@@DavidDoom95 Channel 4 had excellent idents in 2008, but the Sky 1 idents are very visually pleasing
Hey AMTV Rewiew the Sky 1 Ident called ‘Fringe’
I remember when Cablelink started carrying Sky One (along with Super Channel and a few other weird ones) in Ireland back around 1991/92 when I was about 10 years old. It felt so futuristic and world-bridging...
Huge mistake by Sky to get rid of Sky 1. Now it's Showcase or Max or something?? Who was the "genius", not, to come up with that, way way way better alternative? I think a lot of Sky customers feel disconnected now, it's a product now that nobody can relate to.
*AMAZING* Ident Review once again!
Do you know what? Those Sky One idents are really brilliant, especially the 1989 ident! And... oh my god, this is probably one of - if not - _the longest Ident Review you've ever did!_ (Along with VPRO Idents!) I even can't pick a favourite ident out of Sky One, but I guess it would probably be the 1989 ident, as the graphics and animation are very good for the time. And... wait. WHAT?! Sky One will be retired and get replaced with Sky Showcase?!
🌎 *No!*
That's a very big shame indeed! I can't believe that Sky One will get retired! The other Sky UK channels like Sky Two and Sky Three also got rebranded! This is so sad! Rest in peace to Sky Channel/Sky One (1984-2021)!
Lmao.
Sky Two - Sky Replay (2020)
Sky Three - Pick (2011)
Request MTV UK 2011 idents
I'll definetily miss Sky One because it was the only channel where I'd sit down and watch The Simpsons or Futurama. Great review, as always. One day, I want to make an ident review show just like this(im obbsessed with idents). RIP Sky One (1982-2021)
I did like Sky One but I was of a Sky Two guy Sky 2 started in 1996 timesharing with Fox Kids programmes were very different the only show that was shown on both Sky 1 and 2 was Hit Mix Longplay on the 3st August 1997 it was taken off the air due to the death of Princess Diana Sky 2 retuned under the name Sky One Mix later on one was removed from the logo and the channel became Sky Mix the it became Sky 2 and it's now Sky Replay
