I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old, the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold." "If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
Cablers have pacted with Disney-ABC Domestic Television for off-net rights to all six planned seasons of ABC's top thriller, with segs scheduled to begin airing next September.
G4 will have Monday-Friday strip rights to the show (along with some weekend plays), while Sci Fi will air the skein Monday nights as a stack of four episodes from 7-11 p.m.
It's believed the deal will net Disney roughly $200,000 per episode, with Sci Fi's deal accounting for some 75% of the total per-episode license fee.
In what's becoming an increasingly common component, both cablers will also be able to stream a certain number of "Lost" episodes on their respective websites. G4 will also have exclusive cable weekend rights to the series.
