No luck, Rhea. I wasn't there at all... In fact, I was so desperate for news that I lurked around here every 3 minutes for some little snippet... The info is in one of the Gallifrey threads either here or in Misc. I don't remember.

You've got it turned around, [b]Queen Tiye. Because there was a threatened strike by the American writers and actors, there was a slight chance that the Canadian-made and produced (Fireworks) DROM could be used to fill in on the WB network due to the lack of new American shows. (WGN, Tribune-owned, is a WB affiliate.) However, new contracts for the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild were negotiated without a strike, so the odds now of this happening are zero.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Do you mean absolutely ZERO, or just rather unlikely? And, we have no ability to influence outcome?

Well, never say never, but my impression is that Tribune/Fireworks target the syndication market exclusively and aren't looking for a network. After DROM finishes its run, I could see it winding up on the SciFi channel or some other cable network, but not on one of the regular broadcast networks, and not in first-run.

Maybe a lurking Tribunite could straighten me out if I've got this wrong.

For it to happen right now, either Tribune would have to actively try to sell the series off to a network (who would then have to be interested), or a network would have to try to buy it from Tribune, and Tribune willing to sell.

Since it's Tribune's top ratings machine right now, I don't see Tribune interested in selling it.
