For UK fans: Sky One gets rights to Lost

by Joel Keller, posted Oct 19th 2006 4:50PM

LostIf you live in the UK and have been enjoying Lost, get your TiVos ready: Channel 4, which has been airing the first two seasons of the American hit, has lost the rights to seasons three and four to Sky One, according to The Sun.

"The series has defined TV drama over the last two years. We are absolutely thrilled to bring it to Sky One," Sky One chief Richard Woolfe told the tabloid.

Of course, Lost is currently only in its third season, but even with its slipping ratings, chances of a fourth season are almost 100%. So Sky will likely get its money's worth. Unless half the country has downloaded season three's episodes already. Then Sky is toast.

It's the change of channel that a TiVo would need to be prepared for. TiVo is the ubiquitous PVR in the US, which is why it gets the mention. But TiVo pulled out of the UK market years ago, so is irrelevant in this context. There are now only Sky+ and Freeview PVRs, but only the Sky+ box is going to be able to record Sky One.

I'm not sure why Tivo gets a mention. If anything people would get their Sky+ ready but since that device also allows recording of Channel 4 as well I don't see the relevance.
