CBS Television Distribution is setting up “Criminal Minds” and “Numb3rs” for syndication in late fringe beginning in 2010, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The two shows were pitched as replacements for “CSI: New York” and “CSI: Miami,” which will move exclusively to cable. Involved are the CBS-owned stations, plus other stations owned by Gannett, Meredith, Belo, LIN and Cox, the trade publication says.
