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. |
