Sky (formerly Premiere) is the first German Pay-TV company, offering several channels of digital content via satellite and cable.
The channel originally started off as a single analogue channel on the Astra 1A satellite, showing films dubbed in German, live football matches from the German Bundesliga (league championship) and once the UEFA Cup. As well as documentaries, TV series and once in the mid 90's late-night erotic films. After the coming of the digital age, the service has since consisted of many channels with many new ones added over the years. On July 4, 2009 the channels were rebranded as "Sky".
