Acoriding to this sky one article the orignal station sky one grew out of started in the early 80s, but this table on wikipedia suggests it was actually 1978 [ [1]]
Intresting, but how can this be the UK's first ever, seeing as even this article admits that Murdoc bought an exsiting network that was aired in the UK? confusing! Also, I found great interest that only "10,000" people could get Satelitte TV when it first aired in the UK, not that i am disputing that figure, just saying it's intresting. That probably would have seemed like a lot back then, just like 1 million having mobile phones in the 1980s seemed a lot. 74.65.39.59 12:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Sky One did begin in 1982, back then as Sky Channel, if you look at the website http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/ [3] and click in the Sky history, Sky Channel began in 1982, not 1984. The service that came before began in 1978, so the current text in the article that dates these events as 1978 and 1982 is correct. 74.65.39.59 12:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Makes no difference, we're still talking about when the channel LAUNCHED and was FOUNDED, not when it was "legally avalible", so even if it was broadcasting from 1978 to 1989 just for one person that is still the launch date, also it was possible to buy equipment on import from overseas (if you had the cash) and view the channel in the UK. 74.65.39.59 14:03, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Is it worth noting the availability of Sky One on Vodafone mobile TV?

Why does the logo keep changing pointlessly for a lower-quality version? -- Antz 22:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

This may be my faulty memory, but I'm unaware of anyone other than Claire Sturgess doing the continuity since we got the channel in 1998. If you look at the Sky One page on TV Ark [4], Claire's the voice for all idents from the 'yellow lozenge' ones onward (which are billed as 1997, but looking at vintage schedules the Simpsons one is from the 3rd May 1998). I also have an entire night's programming on tape from April 2000, and Claire is the voice of all the links. Billy H 11:04, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
The history of Sky One has got messed up. I was in the middle of reverting vandalism by Paulakin when they moved the page from under me. I don't know the best way to fix this, I reckon delete this page, and move back (again) Blind Date on TV and revert the edits. -- Jbattersby 09:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
There is nothing in this article to say when the Sky One HD channel started. - Lee Stanley 21:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Does the section on Wrestling have any encyclopaedic value? - Lee Stanley 21:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
A lot of the article reads like it was written by the Sky Press department, anyone agree or am I being paranoid? TiHead 21:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Nope you are correct but then would you expect anything else From Sky?? -- AJFurnell 19:01, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Why does someone keep putting 'until summer 2007' next to Virgin Media, the link they keep using says 'Sky warns cable viewers they may lose its channels' and does not say that the channels are going i don't see how the two comments connect. -- AJFurnell 19:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
With reference to WP:NOT, I'm minded to say a list of current and former shows isn't encyclopedic? The precedent is that all channels list every programme they have ever shown, for the likes of ITV and BBC1 this list would go on for several pages. Pit-yacker 19:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
"(not former Telewest areas)" reads like the channel is still available in Telewest areas, not that it was never available in the first place. - Lee Stanley 23:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Image:SKYONE Channel Logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There was some series made from the US that a woman being able to predict people's death and the whole plot of the series was to prevent people's death as much to her abilities.
When she touches a corpse, a corpse says "Help me" and she returns back in time when the person was alive; that was in Sky One trailers to jog you people's memories.
WHAT WAS the name of that show?!

It was called Tru Calling. 81.156.132.99 ( talk) 13:17, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't the name of this article (and Sky 2 and 3) have the space removed? Because that's how it's presented on both the Sky Digital TV Guide and the official website ( see here). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellow Mage ( talk • contribs) 09:10, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

The writing in this article can be very shoddy and unfocused, with improper grammar on several occasions and a lack of good structure in the texts. I'd edit it myself, but I don't have the time - so thought I should say something so other people might see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BillyAtWiiloveit ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
I think the section where it claims Terry Pratchett's Hogfather was their most successful programme ever needs to be clearer it is referring to the most successful programme commissioned by Sky1 (the premier of the new series Friends on 13/1/00 achieved higher ratings) and to be cited-- Hammard ( talk) 13:02, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Can you ask me why Sky1 hasn't got a new christmas idents between 2011 and 2012. TopCashBack2 ( talk) 04 December 2012, —Preceding undated comment added 11:14, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

oppose move: Sky One is effectively splitting into Sky Showcase and Sky Max (and to a degree, into the already established Sky Comedy. I think separate articles is the way to go here. c87d98b10 00:50, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
