Doesn't Nick have exclusive rights? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Maybe someone here can explain to me how this works. I couldn't sleep last night, so I was watching my local Fox affiliate and an episode of Three's Company came on. I thought that when Nick at Nite got a show, it had exclusive rights?

I'm not really complaining, because the show wasn't cut up as bad as Nick does, plus there was no bug. For anyone who is interested, I saw it on Fox 32 in Chicago at 3:30AM.

Three's Company is still in alot of locals. Check my site out http://jacksbistro.freeservers.com
I guess it isn't exclusive. Only shows on N@N that is probbaly not on any locals is Facts of Life and Brady Bunch, Gilligan too I think. The rest are still on local channels. Yes even Diff'rent Strokes, although only a few.

Coily I am in Chicago also
and I think Fox sometimes does show more of the episode than N@N.
Where in Chicago are you?

Hi TracyP,

I am on the North Side. I am actually running a little experiment tonight. I am clocking the actual running time of the episodes shown on N@N, then I'm going to clock the time of the episode on Fox at 3:30 am. Yes, my life is that pathetic that I have time to do this! I'll post tomorrow what I find.
