Battlestar Galactica moving to Sunday nights

Tuesday - November 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

SCI FI Channel will move its hit series Battlestar Galactica to Sunday nights, TV Guide is reporting and the Chicago Tribune has confirmed. Starting January 21, the network will resume Season Three of the show at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on Sunday nights.

The show has struggled in the ratings since the new season premiered in October. SCI FI bumped the series from a summer premiere -- alongside former Friday night companions Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis -- to a fall premiere.

All three original series have seen lower ratings this year, with SG-1 quickly cancelled after its record-setting tenth season.

Battlestar Galactica's new timeslot competition will include ABC's Brothers and Sisters and CBS's Without a Trace.

New episodes of Galactica currently air every Friday at 9 p.m. Eastern/Pacific.
