MGM Lion Flexes TV Muscles

Perhaps in synch with the new website reported below, Variety reports on MGM’s reinvigorated TV division, with MGM taking control of its TV and movie distribution, exploring digital delivery and establishing an overseas “MGM Channel”. From the article:

The international marketplace for TV series is humming, said Sands. Two of the key series in the MGM catalogue for foreign sale are “The L Word,” which Showtime has picked up for a fourth season, and “Stargate SG-1,” which racked up more than 200 episodes before the Sci Fi Channel canceled it last month.

This is in-line with insights at SaveStargateSG1.com that a digitally distributed Season 11 in the US might actually be a viable choice for MGM, followed by the usual overseas distribution, DVD sales, and syndication.
