ATLANTA/PRNewswire/—In its first foray into off-network series acquisition, Bounce TV has landed the television rights to four shows in individual, multi-year licensing agreements. In the deals, the nation’s first-ever and rapidly-expanding broadcast television network for African-Americans acquires “Roc” (72 episodes) and “The Parent ‘Hood” (90 episodes) from Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution (WBDTD), “A Different World” (144 episodes) from Carsey-Werner Distribution and “The Hughleys” (89 episodes) from Twentieth Television.
The four popular series will be scheduled together to create a new line-up leading into prime time, with the network airing two episodes of each show back-to-back.
“Research shows that our rapidly-growing audience is hungry for great family-friendly comedy series. These four iconic sitcoms fit beautifully together and will further drive our already-robust ratings and viewership,” commented Jonathan Katz, Chief Operating Officer of Bounce TV.
