EXCLUSIVE: NBC Picking Up ‘Friday Night Lights’ After Partnering On It With DirecTV This is great news to that small but passionate audience for the best TV series you’re not watching. I’m told that Jeff Zucker, Marc Graboff and Ben Silverman had been searching for a way to pick up the critically acclaimed but low-rated Friday Night Lights that would still make financial sense. The answer came in a deal with DirecTV, now owned by John Malone’s Liberty Media. Clearly Malone is looking to offer exclusive content to his satellite subscribers to distinguish DirecTV from its rivals on a content basis as well as price. “It’s an innovative deal where NBC found a partner who will share costs and exhibition windows,” an insider explained to me. I’m a big fan of FNL so I say hooray.
I just knew this show was toast but the passionate fan base saved it so Buddy Garrity will live another day. CLEAR EYES. FULL HEARTS. CAN’T LOSE.
