- Sky Television Opening 1989. Including Sky Channel menu.
Eurosport first day, opening and closedown. Note, low volume on part of Eurosport opening. (That's how it was broadcast)
For the first year it was six hours of Sky One and six hours of Eurosport on the Eutel-sat 5 satellite. HAPPY DAYS!
1989 Eurosport the only channel where you can watch every F1 race live (though only the European races were live on BBC with the exception of the French Grand Prix which always clashed with the Wimbledon Mens Singles Final in that period and was always shown delayed and the flyaway races were highlights only) 2019 Sky Sports the only channel where you can watch every F1 race live
Wow this brings me back ! Satellite dish was a new invention.
The day when Eurosport started losing it's Pan European aspect and slowly started encrypting it's transmissions eventually going to a subscription only country by country aspect was the beginning of the end for this great channel. It should have stayed free to air on a European satellite beam with multiple language soundtracks and a sensible several hours a day schedule.
I love the music
In febuary 5th 2020, means, Eurosports celebrate 31 years old, Thank you,Eurosport because Eurosport broadcast in many country
5 Feb 1989-5 Feb 2020
Good times back then in 1989...3:02 Steve Davis still World No.1 & World Champion. How time flies :-)
I recall that everytime Jumping Jack Flash was shown on tv ,they would dub over Whoopi swearing with an actress that clearly sounded nothing like her

It took a year before Eurosport could broadcast 18 hours a day.
Sunday February 5th at the Alpine WCH in Vail was the Women's Downhill(Commentary by David Goldstrom), but why did they only show the combined from three days earlier, because that was the first event of the championships?
Eurosport Was around way before 1989.. I Had it in 1987.
Hi, Are you not thinking of Screen Sport which began in 1984 ?
@@siddn No. It was definitely Eurosport.
@@johnnyfartpants4801 There was no Eurosport in 1987. ES starts on February 5, 1989
@@chriss505 Ok. It Must have been the other one then.
Did you know, The Disney Channel was supposed to be launched originally in 1989. But finally, it was launched in 1995.
Hi, I didn't realise it was that late. Cheers.
Sid N are you from the UK?
Yes, in the North East.
Sid N then I can see you knew Disney took 6 years to launch their channel. I mean, from '89 to '95.
Hi, I knew it was delayed, but I did not know it was by as much as that. Thanks.
Eurosport will also be showing World Championship Skiing on their 30th Birthday in 9 days time, with live coverage of the Women Super G
Matthew, Thanks for that. How time flies.
The Cricket meanwhile was only the first session of the third day of 5th Test in Adelaide, that day was headlined by Richie Richardson's 106.
Wow, what a memory you have. Cheers.
I was only born nine years after that night.
Oops. Sorry. You're not an old fart like me then.
Febuary 5 1989 first day of eurosport!!!

#Eurosport31years

4:31 why did you lower the volume? I loved Eurosport's early indent theme!
Hi, I did not lower the volume, that's how it was broadcast at the time.
@@siddn slight cockup on their first day.

I wish in my heat of heats Eurosport could have stayed under the ownership of Sky Television. Eurosport has never been the same under T.F.1. from 1991.
Why?
@@Abnsdllnnlosnfd Bad production values.
Not showing you the action when coming out of commercial breaks.
Plus no coverage of European Football or F.1.
Also major sound issues and cotinual breakdowns.
It was never the case when Sky/News corp created Eurosport between 1989 and 1991.
Cool. 80 Was the best.😎😎😎👍👍👍
This Is When Eurosport Use To Have Rights To Soccer In The UK
All i remember is sky movies only had ONE movie- FX Murder By Illusion 😂and i STILL never watched it!!!!😂
Hi, Yes I remember that film. I've not seen it for years. Thanks.

This was the murdoch takeover of sky channell.. and the most dramatic change in tv history in Europe in a negative way. Sky Channel was totally ripped off .. so sad !
+Michal Bergseth Hi, As you may know Murdoch took over Sky Channel in 1983. Before launching the new Sky Channel (and others) in 1989.I much prefer the old Pan European Sky Channel.Cheers.
That is not true. Sky Channel was broadcasted from several places in Europe. It is true that from 1989 he bought it, but before that Sky Channel had a European agenda. When Murdoch came, he turned Sky Channel into Sky One which focused entierly on UK and Ireland.
Sid N is right, News International acquired an 65% stake in Satellite Television Ltd on the 27 June 1983 (for £5 Million), six months before the channel was re branded as Sky Channel on the 16th January 1984. The company (not the channel) remain called Satellite Television right up until 1988 (go and watch and old start up from the period if you don't believe me) when Murdoch announced the launch of the transformation of Sky Channel into the Sky Television group of channels (although Satellite Television were part of the Direct Broadcasting Limited consortium that bid unsuccessful for the UK Direct Broadcast Satellite franchise in 1986, that was ultimately won by BSB. Within DBS bid their were plans for another two Sky channels to join Sky Channel)
Thanks for the info Matthew. Cheers.
@@matthew1hyndman Satellite Television broadcast its very first signals to Norway and Finland. Pat Sharp and their Cable Countdown shows were revolutionary from 1982 as it brought interactivity with hosts that were never seen before. This was the style of the channel. In 1983 Murdoch came in as you say with a 65% share but still Murdoch didn't have much influence on the programs except for extending the broadcasting hours. On the 16th of January 1984, the channel was renamed Sky Channel. In the beginning, it was MusicBOX that broadcasted music on the channel before Sky Trax and Pat Sharp +++ made a comeback.
Fun Factory started up in 1985 and D.J. Kat Show in September 1986. They all followed Satellite Television's punk style... You can see how D.J. Kat Show was at the beginning with Linda de Mol. When Murdoch took over he moved the staff to London and the punk kitty became a soft kitty. Sky Trax was gone,... the channel's image which made over 7.000.000 households watch the channel was gone in February 1989.
Murdoch helped the channel in the beginning... but it was when he really had the power that he transformed it to a UK/Ireland only channel.
