A momentous occasion demands a worldwide audience. Or at least both a US/Canada and UK audience.
Sky1 will broadcast the finale of Lost at the same time as ABC in the US.
So whilst ABC are showing it at 7/6c Sunday evening in the US. Sky1 and Sky1 HD will also be broadcasting at the same time here in Blighty, 5am Monday.
4:30am wakeup call on Monday peeps, get that coffee ready!

It’s official, ABC have canned FlashForward. But no word yet on the sets being destroyed, so if the will is there, the producers could take it to another network.
Obvious choice would be SyFy where it would receive some decent commitment to let its story develop, though a much lower budget.
I don’t think NBC would take it as they’re still smarting from their experience with Heroes, and we need NBC to minimise their risks so that Chuck can continue to grow.
CBS perhaps? Not really their bag though. And you might as well just bury it six feet under rather than let "Fox (Serial Series Killers) get their mitts on it.
It is still bewildering how ABC make these decisions considering that FlashForward has been a world-wide phenomenon. Ok maybe the US viewing figures aren’t as good as they could be, but ABC have to be raking in serioous cash from overseas.
Perhaps if overseas markets were willing to pay extra for a second season, it would be renewed. But that’s a big perhaps, in the current financial situation they’d be wanting to pay less.
Shame…
