Sky One

Premiere screenings

With better programming came greater confidence and bigger budgets, and the channel began to rely more and more heavily on premiere screenings of US series, many of them from Murdoch's Fox Network in the United States. An early hit was The Simpsons, which has been a Sky One fixture ever since. Once the series had accumulated sufficient episodes Sky One began running as many as three episodes every day of the week, with new episodes (if any) usually airing on Sunday. Sky also acquired rights to premiere screenings of the Star Trek franchise, beginning with Season 4 of ', and also premiered The X-Files in Britain along with episodes of the ever popular Stargate SG-1 . More recently it has acquired seasons 3 and 4 of 24, as well as Stargate Atlantis, Nip/Tuck, Las Vegas, Battlestar Galactica (2003), Rescue Me and the controversial western drama Deadwood has been added to the lineup.
