I was recently at a website for a local UPN station in Florida and it says that NewsRadio is coming back by popular demand. Is it true it is still airing in syndie?

I donno, it is on A&E.

It is on a lot of locals still....A&E cable airs it at 12:30 and 6:30PM Weekdays.

i think it is still in syndication.. it airs on my local WNCA TV eveyday at like 2pm.

It was airing for a long time here in Philly on WTXF-TV 29. It does not anymore. I think A and E's rights to the show are not exclusive..

Fox 25 in Boston Airs it at 6:00pm EST, which is perfect because then it is one A&E at 6:30, too bad they replaced the 11:30 pm est viewing of it on FOX with drew carey.

Is it true that the rights for A&E and NR arent exclusive?

It is true that NR is not exclusively on A&E. Each show that reaches syndication has 2 different sets of rights. One is the broadcast rights, which give local stations the rights to air episodes of a series. The other is the cable rights, which let cable networks air reruns. A&E owns the cable rights to NR, but local stations can still show it.
