I noticed on the TV Land November an episode of MTM. Has Tv Land reacquired rights to the show? If so, when is it coming back to regular schedule?

I think it is just for this "one time" for a special. Hopefully they do re-aquire it at a later date.

From the TV Land Message Board

Why is TVLand unable to renew the contract?
[TVLTheLink: The syndication package for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" has some clauses concerning how much it can be on air in "local" markets. If that number is exceeded, then the show cannot be aired on a national network. At this time, that number has been exceeded.]

Pavan,

Do you know which local markets it is airing in? I was surprised at this response, I didn't think it was airing in any markets.

Is there a way to check and see if a show is airing in a local market?

I don't know what TheLink is saying, but that is not true. MTM Show has not aired on locals in years. It is currently not airing on any local channel at all nor is it on cable.

Too bad, I love that show.

Pavan,

Is there any update to the TV land situation regarding rights? TVLInk keeps posting on the TV Land site that they can't get the rights due to locals airing it. What is the real situation?

No locals are airing the show, so I have no idea what he means. All I know is that TV Land lost rights to the show after last August, and they have not renewed. I'm not sure if they will do another contract or why they didn't renew (they renewed Dick Van Dyke and Gunsmoke after August, but not MTM).

I miss The Mary Tyler More Show and I hope that TV Land Renews The Contract for The Mary Tyler Moore Show Soon.
