LONDON, September 6: The SCI FI Channel in the U.K. has
announced a raft of new acquisitions, including the second season of CBS
Paramount’s Medium, SCI FI U.S.’s big

Also from CBS Paramount International Television, the 12-episode series
launches October 31.

run on Sky One; and Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of
