According to a report by CNN, there may be plans to broadcast next year's Doctor Who season in America on the same day as the UK.
In the past, episodes of the new series have been weeks to years behind (Season One was not broadcast in the US until a year after it's UK premier). Because of this, fans outside the UK have often downloaded episodes instead of having to wait. According to BBC America's VP of Programming, Richard de Croce:
"(It) means fans love the shows so much they can't wait to see them.
And that's the world we live in, in terms of technology, quite honestly. So let's air these shows as quickly as we can post the UK's transmission.
Plans are in the works for season six of "Doctor Who" to be broadcast the same day in the United States as well."
Let's all hope this turns out to be true.
