I didn't know you guys were THAT behind overseas. I would have thought season 4 would just now be starting after it wrapped over here.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

^FX show True Blood on satellite and cable they will be showing season 4 in January. Channel 4 is network TV here, they get to show it after FX has finished with it.

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

oh ok so it's syndication?

 

[Bob The Skutter]

^We don't really have syndication here. But there's pay TV and Free to Air rights. FX have pay TV and Channel 4 have Free to Air. So FX get an exclusive period before it can be shown free.
