Does Anyone Know...

Does anyone know what happened to Hallmark's plans to air the color hour-long episodes of "The Honeymooners"?

As far as I know, Hallmark is being sold (here's the text saying so) so I'm guessing any plans they had for The Honeymooners are on hold:

Hallmark Channel for Sale?

[June 23, 2002] Friday's Wall Street Journal reported that Hallmark
Cards could dispose of all or part of its two-thirds stake in Crown
Media Holdings, which operates the Hallmark Channel. The article
reports that News Corp., Discovery and MGM were among potential
suitors. Hallmark denies it's looking to sell but says it has been
approached to develop a partnership.

A Crown Media spokesperson said, "Hallmark has been approached by
certain parties that may want to develop strategic relationships."
Crown Media would not reveal details of those talks or say who they
were with.

[Impressions]

The Hallmark Channel announced they would be airing the rarely seen color episodes of The Honeymooners But they didn't. A Hallmark spokeswoman said they were to air these episodes, which were going to air in October have been on hiatus. TV Land's cable rights to The Honeymooners had the network back out due to the extremely high cost of restoring the prints to the quality expectations.
