KYTV

1989–1993 · 3 seasons

A scrappy, joke-dense parody of cheap satellite telly, all wobbly links and terrible presenters, watched with a grin rather than a grip.

Overview: KYTV was a sketch-based show which lampooned the new satellite television companies which had begun to operate in the UK. Each week, a different aspect of 'cheap' television production and broadcasting provided the 'theme' for the sketches in the programme. Inept links and amateurish presentation were very much the order of the day.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, light and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, celebrity, work, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
