The Dead Zone Goes Into Syndication!

This just in from the Futon Critic

THE DEAD ZONE (USA) - Debmar-Mercury Entertainment has signed on to sell the repeat rights to all 67 episodes of the veteran USA series, following their successful sales of "Farscape" and "South Park" to local stations across the country this fall. Like most syndicated offerings, the company is expected to offer both five-a-week plays to cable stations (for a cash license fee) and weekend-only plays to local stations (in exchange for seven minutes per hour for national ad sales) beginning in September 2006. No specific cable networks were mentioned as being targeted however USA itself is expected to be among the contenders. Meanwhile, USA has confirmed a special holiday-themed installment of the series - "A Very Dead Zone Christmas" - has been slated to air Sunday, November 27 at 10:00/9:00c.
