It's the icing on the cake for "CSI: Miami" as the David Caruso starrer wraps up its wildly successful freshman year on CBS. A&E Network has snapped up rerun rights to the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" spinoff for more than $1 million per episode in a complex deal with King World Prods., which handles distribution of the Bruckheimer Television/Alliance Atlantis/CBS Prods. series. The terms of the deal call for A&E to begin running a weekly rerun of the show outside of primetime starting in the fall. In fall 2005, A&E will have full Monday-Friday strip rights to the series to run in primetime or any other daypart. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but sources said A&E has committed to more than $1 million per episode as of fall 2006.
