The Sci-Fi Channel announced a major deal with CBS Paramount to acquire a number of series. They have renewed their rights to the classic Twilight Zone and Sci-Fi will continue to have exclusive rights! Other series they have acquired: Star Trek: Enterprise, the Star Trek prequel series starring Scott Bakula and Jolene Blalock; the series Tales from the Darkside; two Stephen King miniseries and another mini-series; five made-for-TV movies, including Primal Force" and Trilogy of Terror II; and eight other TV series: Wolf Lake, Kindred the Embraced, All Souls, Level 9, Special Unit 2, Haunted, Jake 2.0 and last fall's Threshold. Haunted stars a pre-Lost Matthew Fox. It is likely the short lived stuff will get daytime rotation marathons. Daytime rotation marathons airs weekdays from 8am-4pm ET. Series such as Kingdom Hospital have gotten that treatment.
