'Mom'
Warner Bros. Television has sold the Chuck Lorre comedy to several local broadcast stations to debut this fall.
CBS sitcom Mom is headed into syndication.
In its fourth season on the air, the comedy starring Allison Janney and Anna Faris has sold in 92 percent of the country. From Warner Bros. Television, the Chuck Lorre-created series will make its off-network debut on local broadcast stations this fall.
In addition to a major launch with Tribune stations, the show will appear on stations from Nexstar, Media General, TEGNA, Meredith, Hearst, Raycom, CBS, Sunbeam Television Corp., Northwest, Weigel, Scripps, Marshall, Cowles, Bonten, News Press, Entravision, Bahakel, Quincy and Mission. The series was sold on a cash-plus-barter basis.
“Stations across the country moved quickly to secure the off-net rights to Mom. In two short months we have reached 92% clearance. Stations responded with enthusiasm to Chuck Lorre’s track record of success, the lack of multi-cam sitcoms in the pipeline and the quality of this proven performer in first-run and repeats,” said Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
