The next Futurama on Global is scheduled to show next Saturday the day before the U.S. airing. But don't get your hopes up, Global has been known to stood up their viewers and show reruns of T'urd Rock instead.
Global to show Futurama a day early?

Unless they've changed, Fox sends the show out at 7:00am EST (5:00am MST) to it's affiliates. Unless they are sending it earlier or Global is getting it directly, they can't show it on Sat night.

Global isnt a Fox affiliate, its a Canadian TV network. And it has shown episodes a night early when there is a time slot conflict. They were doing this with King of the hill for a while (and I think with the Simpsons a few times).

I'm just wondering whether the "on Global" logo comes pre-done (ie. they pay for a "customized" version which may be sent earlier) or if they have to do it themselves each time. :-)

I am positive that Global does it themselves because for a few shows you can see that the font is similar, but nowhere near being exact. Sometimes they do a great job but I find that I can notice the difference with most shows.

RCAF is good, but a lot of the jokes & skits are the same as they've been for a few years, so they've gotten stale for me. "This Hour" is great, though.

Try www.iCraveTV.com. Live re-broadcast of Toronto area TV signals. Legally you shouldn't be getting it if you're not in Canada, but a week or two ago all a person needed to know was a Canadian phone area code. We'll see if they don't get shut down legally soon.

All the big Canadian and American television networks plus some sports organizations (the NFL and Fox amongst them) ganged up on ICraveTV.COM and got a court injunction from them rebroadcating the siganals just before the Superbowl.

I spoke to a satellite dealer in Canada a while back and they said that they would sell me a small dish system and authorize it to receive Canadian programming. I think that NAFTA allows us to receive TV across the border.
It is tempting, but since I already have 600+ channels, it's hard to justify paying for more. On the other hand, the comedy channel is running the first few seasons of the Red Green show . . .

Well I don't know how it works, but I do know that Saturday night they are showing both new episodes of King of the Hill and Futurama a night early. Its because they pick up the CBS feed of 60 minutes and there is a timeslot confict. Global isnt much of a network. Its not like the CBC where they have almost all Canadian programs. Global for the most part picks up various US programs. The only Canadian show that they brodcast that I can think of is Traders. I dont know how they are pulling off the manditory 30%(?) Canadian content
CBC does have some funny stuff :-) Do you ever watch "Made in Canada". Its on after This hour has 22 minutes on Mondays. Im always currious why an American would be interested in Canadian programing. Are you a ex-Canadian? :-) How do you get the political Jokes on This Hour has 22 Minutes and RCAF anyway ? :-)

Anyone remember Taking The Falls? I liked that. I also like Cold Squad and Psi Factor. Speaking of which, do you know what time Global is showing this? I've seen commercials for a new Psi Factor, so it can't be at 10.
well showing what? King of the hill and Futurama?
Well they are going to be on at 8pm on Saturday..

hmmm, sounds like Patrick McKenna might be going back to Red Green full time again. :)
That'd be an interesting episode, Harold getting fired from his job thanks to Uncle Red and having to return to Possum Lake....
(card carrying Possum Lodge member, inducted by Red Green himself, nominated by Winston Rothschild).

Actually, Canadian content for Television is different than on Radio. I believe that Television networks in Canada are required to run 60% Canadian content in primetime (7-11pm). In my opinion, there is no way that Global meets this requirement with all of the American shows that they pick up.
Aint' that the truth. Fox 29 usually feeds off Global and CTV whenever it can.
