BBC Buys Medium
Paramount has sold the NBC paranormal series Medium to the BBC, which has U.K. terrestrial rights, Variety reported. The network picked up the series, which stars Patricia Arquette, despite a government warning not to buy U.S. content unless it serves a "public purpose," the trade paper reported.
It's the first time the BBC has bought a U.S. series for its main terrestrial network, BBC1, since Band Of Brothers in 2001. Medium is likely to air in a post-10:30 p.m. weekday slot, starting this summer.
NBC is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.
