Given that ABC has been boasting that it's sold this show in 100 territories (http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2009/oct/05/flashforward-fastest-selling-disney - it's doing very well in the UK for example), this must surely have been a given. Disney is calling it the fastest selling series in their history. I don't know at one point that it becomes financially viable to continue producing a show for a global audience because of sales irrespective of US network airings, but that'd be in interesting calculation. I'm quite enjoying it: Five in the UK shows it on the Monday following its ABC airing, so not even a great deal of delay (and minimising piracy).
