The standard practice in the listing mags is to call it a premiere if it hasn't previously aired on Channels 1-5, i.e. on a (traditional) terrestrial channel. It seems a bit outdated now with the advent of Freeview, as does the very term 'terrestrial' in this sense, now that we have digital terrestrial channels other than 1-5.




Was almost sending you a PM to complain!
