To all Emergency! fans,
There have been petitions, as well has hundreds of individual message threads on several TVLand message boards, asking -- practically begging and sometimes even INSULTING -- TVLand to return EMERGENCY! to their broadcast schedule.

This is the OFFICIAL standpoint: Universal Studios Television controls who gets broadcast rights to their shows. Right now, EMERGENCY! is demonstrating serious response (sales) in the DVD spectrum. For that reason, Universal has revoked syndication rights to all NETWORKS asking for the show.

Individual stations may still get broadcast rights, or may only be allowed to complete their current contracts and not be permitted to renew. NETWORKS like TVLand will not be given this opportunity.

Further, it has been announced this afternoon (11/28/06, 1440 ET) that Season 3 is being released on DVD on February 13, 2007. Our continued demonstrations of support have paid off. But now we must continue that demonstration of support by BUYING the S3 set beginning February 13, 2007.

Please do not blame TVLand for something that is completely out of their control.

I'll admit that I cannot understand why some Universal titles have not been "locked down" and TVLand is airing them (like A-Team), but this explanation has been posted numerous times by TVLand.

In return for our patience, understanding, and interest, Universal has honored our wishes.
