'Hogfather' to make US debut on Ion

Terry Pratchett adaptation Hogfather will make its US debut on Ion Television next month.

The four-hour film was produced by RHI Entertainment for Sky One. It has been lined up to air during the network's RHI Movie Weekend.

Ion Media Networks CEO Brandon Burgess commented: "Through the addition of this kind of great content, Ion Television can continue to accelerate its recent gains in viewership and attract a wide variety of consumers to our programming."

The network, formerly known as Pax TV, will show the film in full on November 25.
