Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings 23rd October to 11th November 2022 |
Channel 4 are currently airing season 21 in the 6pm weekday slot, albeit in a slightly unusual order. There's nothing special for Halloween (unlike the situation on Sky Showcase). Good news follows, though: season 30 begins its free-to-air premiere on Tuesday November 1st! Woo-hoo! Take a look at this blog post by Christopher Wickham, friend of the page, for some context on what C4 might see fit to censor from this run. Thus far, it appears they are skipping the Treehouse of Horror episode entirely. On Sunday lunchtimes on C4, we get a mixture. Saturday and Sunday mornings are usually home to repeats of episodes broadcast between the prior Sunday and Friday. There are a few late night repeats, too, and also a number of additional overnight repeats (usually around 4am) over on 4seven. Episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes that air on Channel 4 are simulcast on Channel 4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift service, Channel 4 +1. |

RTÉ2: Schedule Status & Listings 23rd October to 11th November 2022 |
RTÉ2 are airing Treehouse of Horror episodes for Halloween, from Wednesday 26th to Monday 31st, in the usual weekday 4:30pm slot (with a bonus at 5pm on Halloween itself). Following that, we get season 30 - the Irish free-to-air premiere, starting day-and-date with Channel 4's UK premiere. Woo-hoo! Even better - it looks like they're not skipping the Treehouse of Horror episode like C4 is! Good news all around. As usual, there's nothing on the weekends. |

Sky Showcase currently broadcast four episodes on most weekdays: one at 5pm, then three from 6:30pm to 8pm. Weekends are a little less predictable, but we usually get a decent number of episodes - usually between three and eight a day, spread across the morning, afternoon and evening. Currently airing: season 4, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm). We only get halfway through the season, though, before a break for Halloween: between Tuesday 25th and Monday 31st, Sky are airing every Treehouse of Horror episode they have the rights to, in the usual slots. From November 1st, Sky move on to season 9 - which is returning to their clutches after a couple of years away - no word on the rest of season 4 getting an outing. Look out for some additional episodes in the 8pm hour on certain days, and some Fridays have extras in the 4pm hour. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped. No word yet on season 34, which has begun in the US - the last few years, we've waited until December to start the season, and I expect that pattern to continue. Note that episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. |
