- Finally, we are starting to get some information about the syndication
- future of NX.
-
- According to the 1/28/93 San Francisco Chronicle, over at the NATPE
- convension going on as we speak over in the Moscone Center (in San
- Francisco), MCA-TV (Distributers of NX, parent company of Universal)
- claimed Tuesday "the most active day in terms of sales we've closed, and
- the highest in six years."
-
- Specifically, KPIX ch. 5 of San Francisco, infamous for losing tons of
- money with the purchase of the "Cosby Show," signed a two-year deal for
- NX episodes. KPIX, a CBS affiliate, will start airing the syndie
- episodes of NX in September of 1994, right after the David Letterman
- show. The move to put NX late night seems to make sense since the
- demographics for NX (white, male, 25-49) are similar to those of David
- Letterman.
-
- For news about stations in your local market, stay tuned as industry rags
- (Variety, Ad Age) should have the final breakdowns of who bought what.
