Buena Vista Television (BVT) is bringing two of ABC/Touchstone Television’s top series to off-network syndication. My Wife and Kids is cleared in more than 90 percent of the country for a fall 2005 launch. The hit family comedy According to Jim launches in fall 2006, while syndication sales have already begun for the 2005 off-network debut of Alias. The shows join such off-network favorites as Home Improvement, Ellen and The Golden Girls.

Currently in its 16th season, perennially popular Live with Regis and Kelly remains a ratings powerhouse, having posted season-to-season gains in all key women demographics during the past two years. Longtime favorite Ebert & Roeper remains television’s most popular show devoted to movie reviews.

BVT wrapped up the 2002-03 television season with two new first-run syndication success stories – the weekday version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, which quickly became the number one new game/reality series of the 2002-03 season, and The Wayne Brady Show, which won four Daytime Emmys.

Buena Vista Television continues its tradition of outstanding movie packages with “Buena Vista 8”, featuring top films from The Walt Disney Studios, including Chicago, Sweet Home Alabama, Bringing Down the House, Shanghai Knights and Gangs of New York. “Imagination 8” highlights family hits such as The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams and Spirited Away.
