Anyone have a clue if this is going to be screened in the UK? And who by? Channel 5 were disastrous last year...

Any info gratefully received.

I'm going on the assumption that it won't be screened to be honest. The way channel 5 treated showed they wanted to get it off their schedule as soon as possible.

I'd like to think that a smaller channel will pick it up but i'm not hopeful

I doubt it will be shown after last season. I wish ITV would pick it up again.

I love American Idol and will still watch it if its on for sure.

But to be honest, I'm not that bothered if it won't be on because I've realized now that none of the contestants are going to become superstars any more, they become people that you get to know more and more each week,. You pick your favourite and then look forward to them releasing music only for them not to get a recording contract and are then completely forgotten

i agree about the contestants but i really like the 'vibe' of the show anyway:
- the stories the contestants have - chris medina with his brain damaged fiance comes to mind.
- the songs they perform.
- the themes they have in the live shows.

the show has a good history and a lot of good alumni as well which helps.

I've just found it listed on an Irish tv station called 3e (first episode Saturday 10th Jan).

On 3e's website they have a '3player' that we might be able to watch the episodes on? Not sure if it'll work in our region though. http://www.tv3.ie/3player/

So I've just read online that 5 didn't purchase season 14. Seeing as no other broadcaster has purchased it yet, I guess that's it for now. It's YouTube all the way! What a shame.

Good news everyone - it will be back for the final season on 4Music (is it HD, not sure but don't think so, but who cares?!)!!! Now let's just hope they don't drop it mid season like 5*.

The only bad thing is that it will not be in HD.

Not only is it not HD but if that preview show the other night is anything to go by the bit rate is really low.

Presumably you're on Sky (or Freeview)? I've just set my Tivo on Virgin and it linked the series.

It starts on 11 January on 4 Music - Freeview 18, Virgin 330, Sky UK 360.

Good news that it's being shown. I'm not that bothered about the whole hd thing personally (maybe it'll add to the nostalgia of watching idol in it's vintage period ).

The only problem is the website indicates that it will only be showing one episode a week? The show was cut down to one a week in the live shows last season, but the bits before that were two shows a week.
