Distribution - audience

The (NBC owned) UK Sci-Fi channel has the Pay TV rights to air the show. And now the BBC have come in and bought the rights to show the first series on BBC2 straight after it has finished airing on Sci-Fi.
According to show creator Tim Kring, Heroes is mapped out for at least 5 seasons, so with NBC confirming it’s been picked up for at least 1 whole season, the show looks as though it could run for a few years. The series is filmed in Los Angeles and California and has so far generated very good ratings. The pilot attracted over 14 million viewers, the highest for an NBC drama in 5 years, a fact that was clearly realised by BBC2 bosses. Channel controller Roly Keating said “We’re really looking forward to bringing this innovative and compelling fantasy drama to a terrestrial television audience later next year.”
