Canada - BBC Kids not only snuck Sarah Jane Adventures back on the air without
notice (weekdays 4:30PM Eastern/1:30PM Pacific). But it is new to Canada
episodes. Series 2 - running weekdays. This is the TV premiere of Sarah Jane in
North America. Series 2 did come out on DVD in the US and Canada recently. There
is no evidence of a sale of Series 2 TV rights to the US, yet..

Poland - Disney XD postponed the Polish premiere of K-9, rendering my December
schedules useless. New premiere date is Saturday 26 December. With the date
change and the lack of new schedule information, my ability to keep track of
their schedule is now ... limited.

Hungary/Czech Republic/Slovakia - the Disney Channel for these countries will
reportedly start airing K-9 on Saturday 9 January. Trying to find a source of
listings for this channel too.
