“The Bonnie Hunt Show” has cleared 55% of the country on its way to launch next fall. Syndicator Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution has now sold “The Bonnie Hunt Show” to 15 of the top 20 markets, including the previously announced two-year deals with NBC O&O stations.

New station groups picking up the series on one or more outlets include Hearst-Argyle, Gannett, Belo, Scripps, McGraw-Hill, LIN, Allbritton, Fox, Tribune, Clear Channel, Young, Sinclair, Schurz, Miller, Bonten Media Group and Four Points.

“NBC selected ‘The Bonnie Hunt Show’ as their top choice for fall ’08, and in a little over three short weeks, many prominent broadcasters have also joined the Bonnie Hunt fan club,” said WBDTD president Ken Werner. “They have all selected the show as the top contender to become the next syndicated franchise, and we are thrilled to be in partnership with this terrific lineup of powerful stations.”
