According to reports, the third season of Heroes is to air in the UK at the same time as in the US as TV bosses move to end the traditional delay of several months before the show appears overseas. Good news for Hayden Panettiere’s UK fans who have been awaiting the villanious third season =) Many other TV shows suffer from this delay but in a global, internet-dominated culture, it now makes sense to try to synchronise scheduling. Jana Bennett, director of BBC Vision, said:

“People want to participate globally and, in part, that’s why this autumn, when NBC launches Heroes series three in the States, it will be aired simultaneously by the BBC in the UK.”
