Project Runway Moving to Lifetime?
Variety reports that The Weinstein Co. has signed a deal to move its reality series Project Runway to Lifetime network. However, NBC Universal, who owns Bravo, says that they were not given their contractual first right of refusal to the show and decided to file suit. Here’s the official announcement from NBC Universal:
NBC Universal has continuing legal rights related to “Project Runway,” including a right of first refusal to future cycles of the series, which The Weinstein Company unfortunately has refused to honor. NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program, including the right to decide whether it is in the best interest of the company to continue to air the show under the proposed financial terms.
All I know is that I love the show and hope that all this drama doesn’t ruin it. What are your thoughts about it? Leave a comment to let us know what you think.

I hope Bravo wins battle. Are they going to have a Golden Girls challenge? A face-off to see who cry the most? I bet Ricky could win that one.

I must have been so out of the loop. Today is the first day I’ve heard about this!!! I hope it doesn’t move to lifetime, but if it does I’ll have the DVR set.
