Comedy Central and Tribune Co.’s WGN America have snapped up the off-net rights to NBC’s 30 Rock, in a multiyear deal believed to be worth between $700,000 to $800,000 per episode.
Per terms of the pact with NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution, the Viacom-owned Comedy Central and WGN will begin running episodes of the Tina Fey/Alec Baldwin vehicle in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The joint rights agreement is similar to the May 2009 deal engineered by Comedy Central sibling Spike TV and WGN, in which the two nets took joint custody of the off-net rights to HBO’s Entourage.
