Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings  2nd to 26th December 2024

SEASON RIGHTS: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 LISTINGS SOURCE: Channel4.com, Digiguide Channel 4 are currently airing part of season 12 in the usual 6:30pm weekdays slot; season 18 follows. Unfortunately, there is still no word yet on the terrestrial premiere of season 32; last year, they began their premiere of S31 in the second week of November. Time will tell whether they're just running a little later this season, or there has been some fundamental shift in the nature of their contract. (Friend of the page Christopher Wickham has some preview commentary on what C4 may or may not cut from their broadcasts when they eventually get to the season.) On weekend mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we currently get episodes from seasons 4 and 30, as well as some repeats of the weekday episodes. There are a few late-night episodes scheduled too, though there's nothing currently on 4seven. Over Christmas, C4 are airing a number of festive episodes of the show, and there are a number of bonus morning episodes (though the evening slot takes a break from the 23rd, likely through to the New Year). I'll wait for the final schedules to be confirmed later this week to supply a full summary, but "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", "Marge Be Not Proud", "Skinner's Sense of Snow", "She of Little Faith", "Kill Gil, Vols. 1 & 2", "White Christmas Blues", "'Tis the 30th Season" and "Bobby It's Cold Outside" all look to get multiple outings between the 15th and Boxing Day - some four or five times in the ten-day period, remarkably. Episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes that air on Channel 4 are simulcast on Channel 4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift service, Channel 4 +1.

RTÉ2: Schedule Status & Listings  2nd to 26th December 2024

SEASON RIGHTS: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 LISTINGS SOURCE: RadioTimes.com, Digiguide RTÉ2 are currently airing selections from seasons 25 and 31 in the usual 4:30pm weekday slot. There's also a sometimes a bonus spot in the early evening on a random day here or there, or on a Sunday afternoon, from a variety of seasons. Over Christmas, it looks like the show will be taking a break from its usual slot, with "Bobby It's Cold Outside" on the 10th and 11th, and "White Christmas Blues" on 20th and the 26th, the only festive bones thrown to Simpsons fans in the preliminary schedules. As with C4, there's no word yet on when season 32 might premiere. As usual, some episodes are skipped due to content concerns.

Sky Showcase: Schedule Status & Complete Listings  2nd to 26th December 2024

SEASON RIGHTS: 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35 LISTINGS SOURCE: Digiguide Sky Showcase have settled on typically broadcasting four episodes a weeknight, from 5pm to 6pm and then 7pm to 8pm. (The US Office occupies the 6pm hour.) Weekends are less predictable, typically home to six or more episodes throughout the day. Currently airing: season 21, in two concurrent runs - generally, that's one run in the 5pm, 7pm or 7:30pm weekday slots, and a repeat either in a 5:30pm weekday slot, or on a weekend. Following that is season 22, then season 33. We don't get far in to season 33 before Sky switch to Christmas mode. Unfortunately, The Simpsons doesn't figure as prominently as it typically does, with Sky showing fewer episodes of the show than it has at any other point this year - an average of just two episodes a day between the 16th and Boxing Day. On some weekdays it's just a solo 5pm spot. Nevertheless, the episodes they do show during that period are looking to be almost entirely festive - I'll have my full breakdown when schedules are confirmed later this week, but "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace", "'Tis the Fifteenth Season", "The Fight Before Christmas", and "It's a Blunderful Life" all show up (and the less-festive-but-Sky-count-them "A Made Maggie" and "Top Goon" appear too). As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped, and some episodes don't get a second run depending on Sky's weekend schedule. No word yet on season 36, which started recently in the US - it'll likely be a January start here. Note that episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides.
