Fastext. In 1995 Sky relaunched Skytext and named it Fastext. Rather confusing perhaps (but how commonplace were Fastext links then?) The Fastext service was good-looking, but eventually it became Skytext again, although the header row retained the channels' names, not the service name. |

These pages
from Sky One and Sky News were taken from the Astra 1 services in May 2001.
Sky ceased the last of its analogue transmissions from the Astra 1 satellites at the end of June 2001. The channel-variants of Sky Text also came to an end as, on Sky Digital via the Astra 2 satellites, Sky broadcast one version of Sky Text via its many channels. In October 2001 this service was withdrawn from Sky Digital transmissions and Sky Text 'analogue' carried only horse racing info and bookmakers' advertisements. However Sky Text 'analogue' apparently continued for cable viewers. In July 2002 the pages had SKY TEXT in green capitals in the header row. |

Sky Digital Text relaunched in early August
2002 with a different on-screen look and a new navigation system. Sky 'analogue' text reflected the new page numbering and sadly lost many of its graphics.
Also noticeable is the considerably reduced amount of advertising. |
