Bad news UK viewers: no more SG until March.
Supergirl seems to be absent from the Sky One schedules for this week, despite CBS screening a new episode. Rumour has it that Sky One has decided to suspend 'part two' of season one until sometime in March 2016.

So many artificial constraints to the distribution of content. While this show can be watched by anyone, sourced from a dozen different sources, paid and over-the-air free (ad supported), in the US, once you cross an ocean it all goes to hell. Very 20th century. And completely unnecessary given the technology.
Between governments who restrict content to businesses who create artificial scarcity to line their pockets, it's an unholy mix. Not only for this show, but for all shows. Movies do a little better with simultaneous distribution.
Up until fairly late in the 20th century, there were technical reasons that contributed to uneven distribution. Media was hard and any quantity of it had to travel in boats. Internet didn't exist. I flew across an ocean and into London once in the early 70's. to get some Pink Floyd albums (back in the vinyl days) that were not available where I was living at the time.
Yet look how easily a global forum like SWM can exist. Our open and free communication, with zero concern or constraint for country of residence (well, except maybe North Korea), only highlights the horrific state of media distribution.
Internet 1, Media 0

Perhaps the Dear Leader himself is a fan. Surely you'd have to be VERY well placed to have unfettered Western internet access.

Now that the official UK Sky One schedule has been published, and the air date is confirmed, I've updated the CBS timeline (see menu at head of page) to provide dates for all UK Supergirl episodes (assuming no more breaks.)
