As further evidence that the fight for ANGEL includes affiliates and syndicated broadcasters around the world, UK satellite company Sky has weighed in with their own efforts for the cause.
A posting in the SaveANGEL Forums, reports that British Sky Broadcasting has been very responsive to fan inquiries in demonstrating support for ANGEL.
In a reply to the viewer's questions, Sky One says they too were surprise at the cancellation, and that ANGEL has been "one of our more popular programs with a loyal and passionate fan base."
Sky reports that they has been in communications with both The WB network and the producers of the show. According to the posting, the UK company has been told that negotiations are "going ahead behind closed doors to try and secure a sixth season."
The satellite company assured the producers of "100% support" and the continued showing of new syndicated episodes of ANGEL on Sky ONE "should an agreement be made to secure another season."
In answer to fans' concerns, Sky says, "Be assured everything is being done to try and bring Angel back to Sky One next year."
