SKY Magazine

SKY Magazine was a British magazine that was published between 1987 and 2001. It was an entertainment magazine dealing mainly in celebrities featured in film, television and music.

It should not be confused with the Sky magazine sent free to subscribers to British Sky Broadcasting. There were also occasionally sections on childhood nostalgia.

Originally produced by News International's magazine division as a fortnightly, the title struggled and was sold to EMAP, who relaunched it as a monthly.

The magazine was aimed at young people of both sexes, a fairly unique stance by the mid-1990s. Cover stars were both male and female and were photographed and commented from a sexually interested viewpoint regardless of their sex. In the later years there also featured a number of 'Sex Issues', asking for responses from hetero and gay people of both sexes.

Another frequent feature for a number of years was the back page advice column column from Karen Krizanovich, an American journalist who would generally belittle advice seekers, helping them to solve their own problems.

Sky Magazine

Sky Magazine (or 'Sky Mag') is the magazine distributed to subscribers of the BSkyB satellite service Sky Digital.

Availability

The magazine was available to subscribers of the Variety Pack or all packs of entertainment.

Content

The magazines content varies from edition to edition, but on average will include:

  • Interviews with celebrities
  • Television listings & guide for Sky Movie and Sports channels
  • Program reviews and recommended viewing guides
  • Sky services, Adult channels and premium services advertising
  • Informing customers of service updates, pricing changes etc.
  • In recent years, popular consensus is that the quality of the content has decreased, and what was once a quality magazine, has lost channel guides, detailed channel listings and more quality interviews and program-related articles.

    End of magazine

    The magazine ceased publication in October 2011. The October/November edition was the final one. The publication was replaced by a Weekly Email.
