True Blood: FX bite again

FX have announced they'll premiere True Blood's second season in the UK next February, soon after Channel 4 finish airing the first season. It seems that digital-only FX and terrestrial Channel 4 have a back-and-forth process going on between them, so if that continues will Channel 4 be showing season 2 next summer? It's just a theory of mine. Either way, the delay between US and UK broadcasts of True Blood are far too big. True Blood's one of those shows with a big, impatient, technically-savvy fanbase, so FX should try and shorten the gap if they can. Ditto Dexter.

For stat fans: True Blood's season 1 finale got 176,000 viewers on FX last year, averaging 292,000 across the whole season.
