Sci Fi to Run Dead Zone Episodes

By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 7/3/2002 11:45:00 AM

Sci Fi Channel will telecast episodes of sister service USA Network's Dead Zone beginning July 12, according to sources.

The quasi-repurposing deal -- through which Sci Fi will not show Dead Zone episodes days after their premiere on USA, but rather begin with the series' debut installment -- marks the first time a cable channel has aired another network's series during its initial run, sources said.

The June 16 premiere of Dead Zone, based on a Stephen King novel, set a record for an original-series bow with a 4.7 household rating.
