Oxygen will air a weekend marathon of all the Season 2 episodes that have aired in January 2011, and the talent-search show is scheduled for next June. As reported earlier, "Glee" will be come a regular part of Oxygen's schedule in 2013.
Original post is below.
"Glee" and "Modern Family," the two biggest new comedies of 2009-10, have landed big syndication deals on cable.
"Glee" will go to Oxygen, while "Modern Family" is headed to USA. The "Glee" deal on Oxygen also includes the rights for the cable channel to do a reality show that searches for a new cast member, according to Deadline.com.
Both shows will have their cable debuts in 2013. Terms for the sales weren't disclosed, but Deadline reports that USA paid north of $1 million per episode for "Modern Family," while "Glee" fetched "mid-six figures."
If the "Glee" reality show sounds familiar, that's because FOX announced it in January as part of the Season 2 pickup. The network later scrapped the idea so that show's producers could focus more on the new season, but Oxygen resurrected the idea. The talent search is tentatively scheduled to air next summer, with the winner earning a role on Season 3 of "Glee."
"Modern Family," meanwhile, is USA's first sitcom acquisition in a long time. The only half-hour comedies the network currently airs are "Wings" and "Becker," and they're on only in the wee hours of the morning.
