The season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones airs tonight, and fans are terrified about what will happen to Jon Snow, Daenerys, and other much-loved favorites. Rumors have been circulating about the fate of characters and the future of major plotlines, along with the return of some characters who have been gone for a long time.

Martin, fans are not going to get what they want, but something completely unexpected. So, when does Game of Thrones start, what channel is it on, and how can you watch it?
