ReelzNetwork Buys The Kennedy’s Mini-Series
The dramatic search for a channel brave enough to air the controversial mini-series The Kennedy’s has finally come to an end. After the family bullied The History Channel and Showtime wimped out, it was unclear if this 8 part mini-series about one of America’s most interesting families would ever air.
The series has been picked up by ReelzChannel, a 4-year old independent cable channel owned by Minnesota-based Hubbard Communications that is available in 60 million homes nationwide on services including DirecTV, Dish Network, AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Comcast and Charter Communications. If you have Cablevision or Cox you are out of luck. Unless they decide to pick up the channel before the April 3rd airdate. Which is exactly what Reelz is hoping will happen.
If you haven’t seen too many trailers or ad for this series yet…just wait. Reelz is planning a huge media blitz to promote The Kennedy’s as well as their channel.
The controversy over the accuracy of events started by the Kennedy family could be exactly what this small cable channel needs to move forward. Smart move on their part. Also, if they don’t air it Tom Cruise promised Xenu would have his revenge.
