According to the information given by Sky Arts, Sky Arts 1 consists of contemporary arts programmes, like documentaries, cutting edge films and rock concerts. And suddenly a reminder; I've watched a few things on Sky Arts! I've seen documentaries on Guns 'N' Roses, Motley Crue, Meatloaf, Jimmy Hendrix, and even watched the highlights of this years Sonisphere Festival on Sky Arts! Alas, a personal link!
It's not just a light-hearted MTV however. It does host shows on other expressive forms such as 'The Book Show', a show about books (who would have guessed, huh?) and others based on more traditional art forms. Right now, Sky Arts 1 is showing a programme called 'Frank Skinner - Fame in the Frame', which has Frank Skinner pose as Vincent Van Gogh in a painting. Certainly different...
Sky Arts 2 seems to relate more to other forms of music such as Opera, Jazz and Classic Dance. It does seem like music is a big aspect of Sky Arts, but surely there has to be more to it. It isn't a rein-visioning of VH1 with some painting thrown in there, so, like i should be anyway, i am going to keep an eye on the channel and look into their audience a bit more.
