Sci Fi Has Love For ‘Ghost Whisperer’

Network Will Stack Hewitt-Starrer, Beginning In Fall 2009

By Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 5/5/2008 12:09:00 PM

Sci Fi Channel, as part of a larger deal with CBS Television Distribution, has secured off-network rights to Ghost Whisperer, which will debut on the network in fall 2009.

Under the deal, terms of which were not disclosed, Sci Fi will air Ghost Whisperer, starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, in a weekly four-hour primetime stack, making the NBC Universal network, the only place on TV to see weekly mini-marathons of the show. Sci Fi executives said the network will also schedule programming stunts with full-day marathons.

In addition, Sci Fi gains access to shows in the CBS library: Star Trek: The Next Generation, which will premiere June 2 '08 on the network, Charmed; Early Edition; Highlander; Friday the Thirteenth: The Series; and Robin Williams’ classic sitcom Mork & Mindy, among others.

I think Sci Fi Channel's acquisition of "Ghost Whisperer" is some of the best news I've heard today, Morjana. I'm really looking forward to watching the series over from the beginning (it will be *so* good to have Aisha Tyler back!).
