Fox Wins Rights to ‘Simpsons’ Reruns for New FXX Channel

“The Simpsons,” the longest-running scripted show in television history, will air on 21st Century Fox Inc. (FOXA)’s FXX in reruns, giving the three-month old cable channel a proven draw for viewers.

The agreement, covering all 24 past seasons and future episodes, marks the biggest TV syndication deal in history, Los Angeles-based FXX said yesterday in a statement. It includes pay-TV, video-on-demand and streaming rights to the animated show, which airs on Fox broadcast network, John Landgraf, chief executive officer of FX Networks, said in an interview. He declined to provide financial terms.
