Sky Italia to create a 1992 channel to promote new series 1992

9 March 2015 Rob Buckley European TV, Italian TV Post a comment

What were you doing in 1992? Watching tele? Going to the movies?

Well, if you were Italian, you were probably a member of the government, the mafia or the police, fighting for control of the First Republic. At least, that’s what new Sky Italia series 1992 suggests.

For those of you in the UK wanting to watch the latest show from the producers of Gomorrah, it should be airing simultaneously on Sky Arts with its Italian broadcast, starting March 24. But if you happen to be in Italy, I’m sure you’ll be delighted to hear that until then, from this Saturday, Sky Italia is going to be creating a temporary new channel dedicated to the year 1992. Featuring movies including Wayne’s World and Mediterraneo,and classic sports events of 1992 including John McEnroe versus Andre Agassi at Wimbledon, it will also feature TV shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and Baywatch.

Suddenly, looking at that list, I’m not so nostalgic for 1992. Oh well.
