How to do AI in syndication
Well, this certainly answers a lot of questions raised recently.
Variety.com - ‘Idol’ plans unwrapped
The one-hour, weekend series will be renamed “American Idol Rewind” and will premiere with the first season of “American Idol” episodes in September.
They just won’t look the same. The 26 episodes being refashioned for the first year in syndication will include never-before-seen footage shot during that first season — including winner Kelly Clarkson’s audition — and new footage that focuses on how key contestants lived through their ordeals.
Subsequent years in syndication will involve more than 26 episodes, since the subsequent seasons on Fox involved 30 and even as many as 45 episodes. There is also a lot of unaired footage that FremantleMedia will make available.
