They missed a trick not using the 1989-93 jingle with that one tbh. But interesting one alright - Sky rarely acknowledge the fact that their pre-1989 incarnation happened at all (to the point that they celebrated all their anniversaries from February 1989) so interesting to see them dig that logo out.
It was, though before 1989 it was just as likely to be referred to as simply “Sky” as “Sky Channel” - it only became consistently Sky Channel after the launch on satellite and even that only lasted about five months before it changed to Sky One.
