In a deal that marks a television comeback for two tarnished TV divas - Martha Stewart and Susan Lyne - Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution Wednesday
announced a multi-year distribution agreement that will bring Martha Stewart back to local television stations in a new nationally syndicated daily series starting in fall 2005. The program has been
sold to NBC-owned and operated stations, covering more than 30% of the nation. Omnimedia previously had a hit syndicated series, "Martha Stewart Living," which was dropped by distributor King World
Productions, following Ms. Stewart's personal legal woes.
