Sky Portfolio Changes

[Solari]

Why does the DOG on that video say Sky Gold CH.60? I thought analogue didn't have fixed channel numbers? It's odd that this graphic existed at all - they didn't use a DOG when airing movies so the movie channels had no use for them. And there's another Sky Movies Gold logo on that menu.

By the way, the music on that video is a medley, it starts off as the Sky Movies music, then turns into a guitar version a minute in - the version meant for Sky Sports! That's followed by Sky One's version and then Sky News.

This is the 1995 version - the other video posted earlier must've been 1996's.

I might be wrong, but I think Sky had fixed numbers (?).

Anyway, that problably was part of the menu graphics at closedown, not the channel itself.. but I might be wrong

I think that was the transponder number - so Sky Movies Gold would have been presumably assigned to transponder 60 on the satellite, and that was the channel’s default ‘number’ - but of course channels could be rearranged by the user.
