Awareness TV was a TV channel that aired on Sky for a short time. It primarily focused on programs centered on wellness and self-improvement. Unfortunately, it didn't manage to garner enough interest or viewership and was short-lived. Worth a deep dive if you're into the history of gone-and-forgotten TV channels.

I don't think it was. It was Sky's self-promotional TV channel owned by Canis Media where all they did was broadcast fish from 6 AM to 8 PM.

They did not broadcast any other content.

Yep. Those were the times. Awareness TV aka Fish TV haha. I actually enjoyed it, ya know. Something calming about watching fish do their thing. Seemed pointless but was oddly entertaining. Brought back memories though. Wish they still had unconventional channels like this.

That program was called 'SKY Aquarium', broadcasted on & off for years. Proper 12 hours of tropical fish in high-definition. Weird stuff but at a time it was pretty hyped.

Ah, Awareness TV! That takes me back – a good source of wellness content, or at least they tried to be. Too bad it wasn't around long.

Hmmm, I don't remember that one. Was it around in the early 00s? Sky had so many channels back then!

Never really paid attention to Awareness TV tbh. Dove into other channels mostly. Can't remember the last time I watched something on it... wait, does it even still run?

While it's easy to dismiss self-promotion channels, they actually served a useful function in the late 2000's and early 2010's when digital TV was really starting to take off. Awareness TV as an example showcased a mix of Sky’s HD programming and promotional material. Helped people become aware of what was on offer. So, it wasn't all that pointless.

Who cares bout a self promo channel anyways? All they seem to do is rep the same stuff on loop. Annoyin' to be honest.

Yeah, that's right. It was introduced by Sky in 2008. Quite an interesting concept actually. A channel dedicated to self-promotion. They were really pushing for quality content back then. I remember those days. A lot of channels popped up during that time.

Awareness TV, very interesting! It was an obscure UK TV channel that briefly ran on Sky. The whole focus was on well-being, self-improvement, and mindfulness. I believe it featured programs like yoga, fitness, nutrition and stuff. Not sure about the specific programs it aired, as it didn't last long. Might have been too niche or ahead of its time, given the boom in interest in mindfulness and wellness recently.

Ehhh... those were the days when we'd switch to these channels just 'cause we were bored and didn't know what else to watch. Now we got a whole universe of channels at our fingertips. Progress, huh?

No no no. Sky had MULTIPLE self-promotion channels. You guys are all lumping them together. Like, there was Sky Preview for movie trailers, then Sky Update did the service updates. Awareness TV was different. Get your facts right!

Didn't they used to show trailers for new movies on that channel too? Sorta like before you watch a DVD lol.

Nah mate, you're confusing things. It was called Awareness TV because it informed Sky customers about new features and updates on the service. They'd also promote their own shows. Didn't broadcast external programs. it's like an ad channel more than anything else.

Awareness TV? Yeah, it was on for a bit on the Sky platform, back in the day. Think it was one of those health and wellbeing channels, lots of motivational and self-help stuff as far as I can remember.
