Over the years BBC1/2 had OU, Daytime on Two, CBBC, and Learning Zone while ITV had Night Time and CITV. Can anyone think of the separate branding Sky One had in the 90s?
Sky One Prime Time was, as its name suggests, a branding used in prime time, I can’t remember the exact hours but it was around 8-11pm.
I don’t recall Sky One ever having a separate overnight branding - it still closed down overnight into the early 1990s but by around the time of the logo above, it was running 24 hours with “Hit Mix Long Play” (a spin off of a teatime chart music show “Coca Cola Hit Mix”) running overnight essentially showing non stop music videos.
Around 1997-ish, Sky 1 did themed nights in it's scheduling, one night had all the cop shows for example and was called Arresting Television. Can't remember many of the others, except that fitting in with Sky's habit in the 90s of lifting things wholesale from American TV, Thursdays was "Must See TV" and Sunday night was "Super Sunday".
There was also Sky One Day Time for few months in late 1996 when it had a live daytime magazine show 1 To 3. The Day Time branding was dropped when Sky One brought in theme night slots. The Prime Time branding was also toned down but unlike Day Time it was never dropped during the rest of tombstones era.
