TNT Acquires Acquire Off-Network Syndication Rights
Thanks to johnhelvete for the heads up.
CBS has cut a deal with TNT for rerun rights to “NCIS: New Orleans.”
Industry sources estimated that TNT is paying a per-episode fee in the high six-figure range for the procedural drama from CBS Television Studios. That’s a healthy price but far below the $2 million-plus that USA Network is shelling out for “NCIS: Los Angeles” repeat rights in a deal struck in 2009.
CBS Corp. will also shop “NCIS: New Orleans” for SVOD and broadcast syndication deals down the road. The mothership “NCIS” airs on USA and Netflix but “NCIS: Los Angeles” has not been available for streaming per an exclusivity clause in the USA deal. “NCIS: New Orleans” is one of only a few fresh broadcast TV dramas on the off-network market at the moment.
TNT has rights as of today to the show’s first three seasons.
