TNN Beams Viewers to Space and Beyond With Trek Uncut Fridays in March




'Star Trek: The Next Generation' Episodes to Air Consecutively From Season One Through Season Seven

NEW YORK, Feb. 24 -- For the first time on either broadcast
or basic cable television, episodes of the popular series STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION will telecast uncut on TNN. TREK UNCUT, featuring back-to-back themed "NEXT GEN" episodes, will be presented every Friday night (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) during March. The weekly two-hour programming event will be presented full-screen with no black bar and limited commercial
interruptions.
"Presenting 'NEXT GEN' episodes uncut is a television first," said Kevin Kay, Executive Vice President, Programming and Production for The New TNN.
"We've been listening to our TREK viewers and are giving them this special opportunity to view their favorite episodes."
Additionally, TNN continues to boldly go where no network has gone before with STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episodes airing consecutively from the beginning of the syndicated series. Starting Monday, March 3 (Monday-Thursday 8:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT and Friday 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) the network will telecast
"Next Gen" episodes consecutively from the beginning of season one (September 1987) though the end of season seven (May 1994).
The New TNN is the home of the "Star Trek" franchise. In addition to STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, the network has the rights to two additional spin-off series and five STAR TREK movies. The network will premiere STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE beginning in Fall 2004 and STAR TREK: VOYAGER in late 2006.

Wait a second. The ST: TNG episodes on TNN are not aired uncut?

Crap. "Deep Space Nine" isn't coming until next year?

:(

Thank you for posting the news about Next Gen on TNN. I have one question, however, in your message you state that the series will be shown in consecutive order Mon-Fri from 7pm-10pm, central for me. But when I went over to the TNN website, it only lists Trek as airing at the usual 7pm timeslot, with the themed episodes mentioned airing on Fridays. Has TNN changed their airing times or were you mistaken? Thanks.

Also, a Next Gen marathon will air on 3/9 from 1pm-8pm.

You are correct, the press release mixed up the timings. It should be Mon-Thurs 8-9pm and Fridays 8-11pm, they listed Mon-Thurs 8-11pm and Fridays 8-9pm. Glad you noticed!
