CBS TV Distribution Picks Up TV Land’s ‘Hot In Cleveland’ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

With Hot In Cleveland amassing a staggering 54-episode order in only 8 months, the sitcom starring Betty White is headed to syndication. CBS TV Distribution has closed a deal to acquire the exclusive broadcast domestic distribution rights for TV Land’s sitcom. The deal had been in the works since the summer, with CTD already informally shopping the show to potential buyers. Hot In Cleveland recently posted its lowest-rated season premiere but continues to be TV Land’s flagship series.

CBS and "TV Land" are a distant part of the same corporate family.

Yea I'm so happy this will be in syndication! I can't get TV Land so I'm hoping this will be on a station that I can actually get!
