True

But if more shows were broadcast closer to their original US airdate, there wouldn't be such a need to use "alternative means".

So I'd imagine it'll follow another Bravo acquisition, Hawaii Five 0 and go to SkyOne. I just wonder whether Leverage will too.
Sky did say their reason for the channel closure was it had a similar demographic to SkyOne, so there's hope for the VM audience
Ah. I'd be happy with SoA on Sky One. *Someone* bloody needs to show it properly.

Yup. Very different to Channel 1.

Noticed what, exactly? What are you pointing out, just that the ads say Sky subscribers can see it?

Fair enough

I've watched the lot, though, and loved it. It was a critical and commercial success in the US. Great ratings, great reviews, plus also recently won the 2011 Golden Globe award for Best Drama (in 2008, 2009, & 2010 it went to Mad Men, also coming to Atlantic).
