In an exclusive interview with executive producer Ron Moore, it has been revealed that due to funding issues, the highly anticipated season 4 of Battlestar Galactica, due to air this Friday, has been postponed until June.

"We know our fans will be devastated by this announcement but NBC basically gave us no options. Season 4 will be an unforgettable adventure that will bring about drastic changes in the main storyline, introduce several new characters, and will include many new twists that should please everyone," said Mr. Moore. "Because of funding issues with the Sci-Fi channel, specifically the debt and poor viewership that has come about due to the airing of Ghost Hunters and the ECW, NBC has announced a strategic new plan for our show. This plan could possibly see BSG airing on mainstream NBC."

With the recent downfall of HD-DVD and the more recent release of Battlestar Galactica season 3 on DVD, when asked about the timing for the seasons to be released on Blu-Ray, Ron's outlook seemed bleak.

"Look at how long NBC Universal took with the release of season 3 on DVD and even more how long it took the company to realize that Blu-Ray would be the accepted future format," Mr. Moore added. "We're trying to keep fans happy but it's difficult when the giant sloth of a company can't get its act together. The BSG seasons will be released on Blu-Ray, but don't expect them for at least another two years."

For now, it looks like Friday will go by with Stargate SG-1 re-runs.
