UK broadcaster Sky One, has acquired the rights to air JJ. Abrams Fringe:

“We’re delighted to have secured the rights to Fringe, which we believe will thrill a new generation of viewers much like The X-Filesdid 15 years ago,” said David Smyth, head of acquisitions at Sky1. “Together with Lost, we’re honoured to be the home for J.J. Abrams’ shows here in the UK!”

UK viewers wont have to wait long to get their Fringe fix, Sky One will air the show as part of their Autumn line-up. Lost and Fringe on the same channel? UK fans are in for a treat.

*As we reported the other day, Sweden’s Kanal have already snapped up rights to air Fringe in Sweden.

Fringe Heads to Sweden

by Roco on August 6, 2008 · 1 comment

Sweden’s Kanal, owned by European broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1, has snapped up JJ. Abrams “Fringe”.A Kanal spokeswoman said:

“This is a different genre for us, since we have a lot of series aimed at women, like ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Desperate Housewives.’ ‘Fringe’ is more aimed at younger men. But this does not mean that we are going to change our mix, we see this as an addition.”

I believe this is one of the first European countries to buy the rights to broadcast Fringe, and it sure won’t be the last.
