Can Battlestar Galactica still be seen on television?
The Sci-Fi Channel has been airing Battlestar Galactica since it first went on the air in November, 1992. A staple in its weekday programming, the SFC aired Galactica in rotation with Glen Larson’s other sci-fi counterpart, Buck Rogers. In October 1994, the SFC added Galactica 1980 to its roster, with its main credits altered to read Battlestar Galactica. The syndicated packages aired by the SFC have been edited to allow for more advertising time. They have been using remastered prints as a result of work done in preparation for the release of The Complete Epic Series on DVD in 2003. The same syndicated package can be seen unedited on Canada’s Space channel. Both channels are also hosting Ron Moore’s new Battlestar Galactica series, as well as Sky One in the UK. Local networks may also still be airing Galactica episodes in one format or another. Check your local listings for availability.
