Sky Magazine (or 'Sky Mag') was a magazine distributed to subscribers of the BSkyB satellite service Sky Digital.
Availability
[edit]The magazine was available to subscribers of the Variety Pack or all packs of entertainment.
Content
[edit]The magazines content varied from edition to edition, but tended to will include:
- Interviews with celebrities.
- Television listings and guides for Sky Movies and Sports channels.
- Programme reviews and recommended viewing guides.
- Sky services, Adult channels and premium services advertising.
- Information regarding updates, price changes, etc..
- A newsletter called Sky Month to give tips on how to use Sky.
In its final years, popular consensus was that the quality of the content decreased. What was once a quality magazine had lost channel guides, detailed channel listings and more quality interviews and programme-related articles.
End of magazine
[edit]The magazine ceased publication in October 2011. The October/November edition was the final one. The publication was replaced by a weekly customer email newsletter with programming highlights.[1]
