Sonic Underground is currently showing on ITV2 at 7:55am Mon-Fri. This is contary to what is being reported by Radiotimes.com who are listing it as starting on the 11th January. In fact it started showing on Jan 3rd.

On the 12th day of Christmas, Sonic X is returning to CiTV. Don't get too excited though, its a repeat of episode 27. It appears they will show Sonic X every Thursday at 4:05pm. Hopefully this means they will finally show episodes 37-39 which they have but have not yet broadcast.

According to TV guides, CiTV are about to mess up Sonic X again by finishing the current run on Tuesday 2nd August with episode 36. This means they will be stopping 4 episodes into the 6 part Sonic Adventure 2 adaption!

Now doubt this is because of the previous change to their Sonic X scheduling (they were gonna miss out episodes 24 - 26). If they had missed out these episodes then the 2nd August would have been the date they showed episode 39 (the last episode in the set of 13 which they are currently showing) obiviously when they changed the schedule to show episodes 24-26, they didn't think about how it would affect later episodes if they stopped broadcasting Sonic X on the same date.

Again I ask as many of you as possible to email CiTV: webmanager@citv.co.uk and ask them to continue showing Sonic X to the end of the current run. It worked before so hopefully it will work again this time!

Fantastic news! In response to the emails sent to them CiTV have changed their schedules and will now be showing episodes 24-26. Sonic X will still air at the same times previously reported but the episode airing on Tuesday 21st June will now be ep24 "How to Catch a Hedgehog" with episode 25 following on Friday 24th June.

According to Radiotimes.com Sonic X returns to CiTV on Tuesday 21st June at 4:00pm with the next episode on Friday 24th June also at 4:00pm. It appears it will run every Tuesday and Friday.

The bad news is that they've missed out episodes 24, 25 and 26 and have skipped ahead to episode 27! I plan to email CiTV about this and suggest any other displeased fans also send a polite email to CiTV asking them to start with ep 24. The CiTV email address is: webmanager@citv.co.uk

To update yesterdays information it's SatAM which has returned to ITV2, not the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Also the time stated on online tv guides (8:40am) is incorrect, the actual start time is 8:30am which makes much more sense as 8:40 would only give it a 15 min timeslot.

According to Radiotimes online Sonic the Hedgehog returns to ITV2 tommorrow (Monday 4th April) at 8:40am. It could be either The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or SatAM but the decription given sound's more like Asoth than SatAM.

SatAM is now showing in the UK on ITV2. It started showing this morning (Fri 21st). Its on at 6:55am Monday to Friday as part of GMTV2.

A few days ago I sent my third email to CiTV. The email was to make sure episodes 10-13 would be shown unedited on the repeat run, as they all had nearly 2 mins cut out on their first showing. Unfortunately the reply I got says they will only be repeating the first 10. Here is the reply:

Last week I sent a second email to CiTV about the edits they have been making to Sonic X. As well pointing out how noticeable the edits are & asking if the repeats they are showing would be uncut, I also asked if they would be getting the second set of Sonic X episodes (The Chaos Emerald Saga). I recently received this reply:
