Glee - Heading to Sky in the UK

18 May 2011

Share on Reddit
E4's biggest hit, US high school musical drama Glee, is heading for one of BSkyB's subscription channels.

A bidding war has been taking place between the satellite broadcaster and Channel 4 over the third series. Channel 4 executives are understood to be resigned to losing the show to Sky.

According to sources, Sky offered more than double the amount Channel 4 previously paid to Glee's US distributor, Twentieth Century Fox Distribution.

A Channel 4 source said: "We are not prepared to pay over the odds."

The Daily Star reported on Tuesday that Sky was prepared to pay about £500,000 an episode.

    Well reading between the lines I'm pretty sure it's a done deal. If
    things change we'll make a post.

    Not really surprised, glee is huuuge, am more surprised E4 had it in the first place actually, seems like they're a little late to the party....

    They did that as well with LOST. C4 had it first, once Sky saw how
    popular it was they snapped it up :)

    Kinda not surprised it's moving. Sky nabs most of the popular American shows. The one advantage we might get from having it move to Sky, is that we might get it shown earlier than January.
