Now, it's the North American viewers that have to wait until the
early hours of Saturday morning to watch the new episodes on
Disney+ and people in the UK can watch them from 8am on the
iPlayer.

A small difference but they seem to thing it's important... I'm
not sure the midnight iPlayer viewings were getting many viewers
beyond a few hardcore fans anyway. I tried it for the first few
episodes but gave up and just watched them when I got up or in
the afternoon.

 Makes you wonder why they don't simply release it on iPlayer at the same time the episode is broadcast on normal TV.
  Here in New Zealand some of the free-to-air networks have "exclusive" shows on their streaming service first and then a few weeks or months later they often appear on regular broadcast TV. Of course, people who watched it via streaming probably won't watch it again on broadcast TV,

Yeap!! Same Same here in Australia!! If you've Streamed it, why would you bother watching it on T.V. .... Do the Advertisers on Streaming pay more than on Free-to-Air T.V.??

so the blinkered morons in management will claim that broadcast TV doesn't get as many viewers as streaming, and eventually they'll just shut down the broadcast channels.   :-(--
