For those who haven't heard or seen it yet, SciFi has the schedule up for september: http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=29-SEP-2006&feed_req.
Actually, that's the schedule for Friday September 29th. Starting at 8am, there is an 8-hour Doctor Who marathon, starting with Dalek and ending with the Parting of the Ways. Then Doctor Who is scheduled in the 9 and 10pm timeslots, with no episode listing. Rumor has it that series two will premiere that night. (I say rumor because as of the writing of this entry, it hasn't been confirmed by the SciFi channel, or the BBC)
Some speculation as to how it might be aired: 9pm-an extrememly edited Christmas Invasion, followed by New Earth or, New Earth at 9pm, followed by Tooth and Claw.
I wouldn't put it past SciFi to extend the Christmas Invasion to an hour and a half (with commericals)-after all, both Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica have had 90 minute episodes-why not Doctor Who as well? :)
In any case, if these rumors/speculations are true-it's good news for Who fans here in the U.S.!
