Bleary-eyed UK fans of Game of Thrones will be able to watch Season 4 of fantasy drama at the same time as their US counterparts.
Sky Atlantic, which holds an output deal with producers HBO, will show the first episode will be simulcast at 2am on 7 April. This will coincide with its premiere on the East Coast of the United States.
Transmission windows have continued to shortened as broadcasters try to head off the threat of piracy.
In May 2010 Sky One screened the last episode of Lost as a simulcast with the US.
