: Replacing it is a new series, _Hackers_. Set in the present, this

: Information Superhighway.
: Fox has spared no expense when it comes to technical accuracy. The

: authors of the contraversial _How to Make a Forture on the Information

: The two-hour premier shows the FBI and BATF track down and capture
: a gang of ruthless child pornographers who are in cahoots with the
: notorious "PKZ" who developed an ingenious secret code -- unbreakable
: even by the NSA! -- for them to peddle their evil wares, and with a

: making Internet transactions totally untracable. It will be broadcast
: on Sunday evening, April 31, at 8 pm eastern time, 7 central.
