Deep Space Nine's first day will be January 2. It has a launch marathon starting at 6PM eastern time that a Next Generation marathon is leading into. They are not starting with season 1 though, 6:00-8:00 is the two-parter opening season 4 where Worf joins the cast. Then starting at 8:00 is season 6 episodes. Who knows what the regular schedule will be, BBC America doesn't always have the same lineup each week.

Will this be replacing anything? Or will the schedule stay the same?

During the launch marathon tonight, BBC America advertised Star Trek: Deep Space Nine joining the schedule on January 20. That probably means it will have marathon blocks on Mondays.

Deep Space Nine will have a 48 hour marathon starting at 6AM on January 20.

Deep Space Nine is sadly being scaled back from earlier. Its contract must not have been like the year Voyager premiered and it was all day Mondays every week. First DS9 was taken out of primetime Monday nights, but it at least still went to 8PM then. Next week BBC America is largely junk as they are airing 4 days of nothing but nature shows, probably to celebrate overrated holiday Earth Day. Friday still has a Star Trek show, but Next Generation and no Deep Space Nine. The week of April 27 Deep Space Nine is back, from 5AM-1PM on Monday and 6AM-4PM on Tuesday. I really hope they air the 2 part pilot at a decent time some point, have gotten to see a lot of episodes but not this one. It had a very early airing the first cycle, and for some strange reason they skipped it when it got to the 2nd cycle. They sure have aired the 2 parter where Worf began on Deep Space Nine a lot though, 2 primetime nights as part of battle themed marathons plus the regular cycle on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Unbelievable, the 2nd cycle of Deep Space Nine is coming to an end the week of May 18 and 19. When the 3rd cycle starts, the 2 part pilot with Picard crossing over is skipped AGAIN! :mad: BBC America makes it very hard to contact them as well, no message option on their Facebook page, and when I found their FAQ page, there was a link to press and contact them. I tried that a few times but it never went there, said connection was taking too long to respond and timed out. I know my internet connection is fine, every normal site works fine. :rolleyes:
