Viacom announced the acquisition of Seinfeld from Sony Pictures
Television, in a deal that features the exclusive cable rights for all
180 episodes of the iconic series. Beginning in October 2021, the full
library of Seinfeld episodes will air amongst Viacom's
entertainment brands, including Comedy Central, Paramount Network and TV
Land. Additionally, catch-up episodes will be available through Viacom
brands via authenticated video on demand, websites and apps. The deal
was closed for an undisclosed sum and a loaf of marble rye after a
spirited Festivus feats of strength competition. The move to Viacom
networks means TBS will be losing the rights to the series by Fall 2021.
TBS has aired the sitcom since 2002, in what was an original 4 year
deal for $1 million an episode. TBS has renewed the comedy multiple
times after that first deal.
