Shhhh...here's some big news about CBS' Ghost Whisperer: it's been picked up by not one, not two, but three different cable networks.
CBS has sold the rights for the Jennifer Love Hewitt, Friday night supernatural drama to the Sci-Fi Channel, WE TV, and ION. I love how the CBS Television Distribution Vice-President says in the article that the show "is about a strong woman who owns her own business and is married to a firefighter, so women relate to that." He left out the part about talking to ghosts. But it should fit in well at the Sci-Fi Channel (ghosts) and WE (strong woman). I have no idea what ION has for programming, but if it's mostly programming about women who own their own small business and talk to ghosts, then they've struck gold with this pick up.
The show sold for $700,000 an episode. Lost is also going to start airing on the Sci-Fi Channel, this fall.

I'm a fan of the show (its on my list of guilty pleasures) and even I think that's a little too much GW. Three networks? Three networks? THREE? Scifi channel is an odd choice because usually thier series, even the synidacted ones are more edgier. Like "Tales From The Dark Side", or "The X-Files". ION shows only old series, I liked them when they showed "The Wonder Years", but they stopped showing that. WE is a sister network of Lifetime. Lifetime would be a good choice for "Ghost Whisperer", I'm already bummed they stopped airing "Party of Five". They could bring POF back and GW together, its would be a good excuse to watch Lifetime.
