TG4 previously held a long-term agreement with HBO to air the majority of their programmes on the channel. With the launch of Sky Atlantic in 2011, they now hold first rights to Irish and UK broadcasts of HBO shows. This means TG4 now broadcasts HBO programming at a much later date than in the past. TG4 held first rights to "The Wire", "Oz", "Deadwood", "Generation Kill", "Six Feet Under", "True Blood". They also held an agreement with AMC to air "Breaking Bad" until the series concluded.
