    Odd how both channels will be showing both shows, but they could be used as filler on Sky Atlantic. Either way, the more shows that get on the channel the better. It means more content on the Sky Player.

    Hi All,

    Any ideas when The Wire is due to start? Never seen any of it but obviously heard great things!

    Going by the information released late last year, it is due in Q4 2011.

    The link you posted on the first page of this thread seems to be broken now but I found this on the same site. According to that, Sky Atlantic aren't showing it till next year.

    This is where I read about FX showing it in March. Maybe FX have the rights for it until the end of this year?

    Yes your link is definitely more up to date, as it includes the daytime schedule, and includes Generation Kill as coming in 2013.

    Hi,

    I forgot to watch the 3rd episode of Boardwalk Empire last night at 9pm-any idea if and when that episode is repeated?

    Thanks!

    Plus the anytime episodes are add free. They are a couple of breaks with just the sky Atlantic screen that can be fast forwarded, but nowhere near as intrusive as the add breaks.

    If the whole season goes on to anytime, I'm just going to copy those episodes over rather than recording when they are airing.

    Yes Anytime is great, you'll often see True Blood on it too.

    The HBO deal with Sky didn't include True Blood as FX have the lifetime rights to it. Sky must have only got the UK exclusive rights to Blue Bloods.

    FX are part of News Corp hence why they are showing True Blood and Channel 4 are not (or are they?).

    RTÉ lost Mad Men (or have they?)???? How are they getting Blue Bloods?

    Sky paid 150,000,000 for 3 years of exclusive UK and Ireland rights to HBO programming.

    Blue Bloods on RTÉ Two May 31st @ 9:55 possible in HD on Saorview. The Walking Dead also RTÉ Two on May 30th again maybe in HD (though nothing to do with Sky).

    Yep News Corp own FX, and a share in Sky. I don't get the point you're making? FX have exclusive first time showing rights, so Sky couldn't make a deal with HBO for it. I'm sure it didn't bother them too much though, seeing as News Corp have a stake in Sky and own FX. Channel 4 and TG4 still show True Blood, but seeing as FX have first time showing rights, they have to wait after FX shows it. Season 3 will be showing on both TG4 and C4 this summer.

    Both the BBC and RTE have lost the future seasons of Mad Men if Im not mistaken. Sky have took the exclusive rights from the BBC (and we can assume RTE) for future Seasons.

    Blue Bloods is on CBS in America. They probably didn't see Blue Bloods as being a major show so just got the first time viewing rights, ro something similar.

    You sure it will be on Channel 4? I didn't realize Blue Bloods wasn't HBO, I haven't see it.

    News Corp are taking over Sky. I would say Sky gave FX True Blood just to keep it on that channel until they are completely sublimated.

    Any news on News Corp Sky takeover? I know they have to keep Sky news separate.

    I know Man Men is ACM.

    I don't think it works like that. When True Blood first began FX purchased the Lifetime rights. The only way Sky could show True Blood on Sky Atlantic is if they purchased the rights off FX. You can't exactly say Sky "gave" FX the rights when FX had them all along, and Sky had no control of that.

    Seems to be airing on C4 in the autumn from what I can gather. I thought FX/HBO/Sky came to an arrangement for True Blood thus removing FTA TV from the picture. Seems not to be the case.

    Apologies, it is usually August/September when they show it. Nope I don't think it affected the FTA rights at all.

    Well Sky Atlantic doesn't seem all that exclusive to me.

    Exclusive rights to Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Bored to Death, Funny or Die Presents, In Treatment, Weeds, Mad Men with re-runs of The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Big Love, The Wire, The Pacific and a few decent HBO movies. In my opinion it's the best channel available in the UK and Ireland.

    You have to remember that RTE generally stop airing these shows for random amounts of time mid season. And there's no real guarantee that they'll even finish half of the shows that they air. At least with sky atlantic, they'll show it at a normal time and stick to a fairly similar pace as the US with the shows. :D

    Bar The Event which disappeared with its audience this is generally not the case from my experience of late night TV on RTÉ Two.

    I may be just having a selective memory but i'm sure a few of the late night shows that I used to watch disappeared from the schedule at a couple of points. But fair enough if they haven't. I may gain a bit of respect for RTE when they start airing good shows at normal prime time tv times rather than the witching hours. :D

    RTE showed all of Seasons 1 and 2 of SOA without no breaks

    I expected Season 3 of SOA to be back first on Sky Atlantic (Seasons 1 and 2 were shown on Bravo)

    I agree they did want a new channel for such programmes called RTE PLUS but the minister said no. Imagine a foreign channel can be anti-competition and set up a channel with no cause for concern and we think its the next best thing to sliced bread.
