History Acquires UK Rights To ‘Texas Rising’, Sets January Premiere

Quote:

History has closed a deal with ITV Studios Global Entertainment to acquire the exclusive first run UK broadcast rights to miniseries Texas Rising, TVWise has learned. The ten hour mini, which was originally produced for the US History network, will premiere on History UK on Tuesday January 5th at 10pm.

Texas Rising is set in Texas in 1836. Crushed from the outside by Mexican armadas and attacked from within by ferocious Comanche tribes, no one was safe. But this was a time of bravery, a time to die for what you believed in and a time to stand tall against the cruel rule of the Mexican General Santa Anna. From General Sam Houston, to rag tag Rangers to the legendary “Yellow Rose of Texas” – this is a story of the human spirit rising in the face of insurmountable odds and claiming a piece of history for all eternity.

Looks like old Simpsons episodes on sky one has got rid of them black bars Lao it like the format the do on channel 4

Re: Virgin TV (What's on soon)

Those weren't actually bars. The old shows were made in 4:3 and when broadcast on a HD channel were always shown in the original aspect. SD channels use to strech them to 16:9. However now it looks like the HD channels are broadcasting them in the channels native ratio.

Thankyou, I was a bit wary of using "on demand" in case it incurred a charge.
