BET Networks Lands Same-Day Cable Window for ‘Wendy Williams’

Jun 4, 2009  •  Post A Comment

BET Networks has signed a deal with Debmar-Mercury for the exclusive cable run of the syndicator’s “The Wendy Williams Show.”

As part of the agreement, BET will air “Wendy Williams” the same day it airs in national syndication. The simultaneous cable-syndication model is rare, but not unprecedented.

By carving out a day-and-date cable run for “Wendy Williams,” Debmar-Mercury has gone a long way towards generating a profit on the first season of the show in a difficult ad economy, according to an industry source familiar with the deal. The talk strip will air on the Fox TV Stations and on other broadcasters representing 95 percent of the country.

Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein negotiated the deal with Barbara Zaneri, executive VP of programming strategy, scheduling and acquisitions for BET Networks.

"After two solid quarters of growth at BET, we’re thrilled that ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will be joining our lineup in July to strengthen the network’s momentum," Zaneri said.

BET has been reshaping its programming over the past year, and it’s understood that the Williams show will be a key part of the networks’ continued programming evolution over the next year.

"BET is a great cable network that will expand (Williams’) reach to an entirely new audience, enhancing our already strong lineup of stations," Bernstein said.

“Wendy Williams” had a successful six-week trial run on Fox stations last summer. The series will be taped in New York. Tallk show veteran Rob Dauber is executive producer.

  9. Approximately 6,600,000,000 humans inhabit this world, 3/4 are aware of the new testament. One dude preaching in one single country, started that, using only word of mouth. Anyone have the world wide web with which to reach all of those people, all this at your fingertips, you can change anything, go for it bad boys!!!!!!

  10. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  27. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
