Producer Tom Werner and the team behind the hit sitcom 'The Conners' have a lot to celebrate. The independently produced series by Werner Entertainment has just been sold in syndication to TV station groups representing a whopping 85% of U.S. TV households. Starting in the fall, reruns of the show's first five seasons will air in late afternoon and early evening time slots on stations across the country.
This is a significant milestone for 'The Conners' as it is one of the few new comedies in recent years to secure traditional syndication deals with local stations. In an age where streaming options dominate, the popularity of multi-camera sitcoms like 'The Conners' has declined, making these syndication arrangements increasingly rare. Most of the industry has shifted towards single-camera comedies and other formats that are not as syndication-friendly.
