| 9 | * ''The Danny Thomas Show'' (aka ''Make Room for Daddy'') jumped from ABC to CBS in 1957. |
| 10 | * ''Series/MyThreeSons'' went from ABC to CBS in 1965. |
| 11 | * ''Series/TJHooker'' was cancelled after four seasons by ABC, CBS picked up season five and aired the new episodes in its 11:30PM Crimetime After Primetime slot. |
| 12 | * ''Series/SisterSister'' from ABC to The WB. |
| 13 | * ''Series/FamilyMatters'' from ABC to CBS. |
| 14 | * ''Series/StepByStep'' made the ABC to CBS move at the exact same time as ''Family Matters''. Neither lasted more than one season on the new channel. |
| 15 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'' from ABC to FOX ({{Lampshade|Hanging}}d: "I used to have a big show on ABC -- for about a week!") to Comedy Central to "webisodes" on the Internet (also made fun of on the first "webisode"). |
| 16 | * ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' started on ABC in 1959 as ''Rocky and His Friends'', then moved to NBC in 1961 where it was retitled ''The Bullwinkle Show.'' It ran in prime time for two years and Saturday morning for one more. It then moved ''back'' to ABC in 1964 for eight years in reruns until it was syndicated and given the title it is now best known by. It was also syndicated in 30-minute components as ''Rocky and His Friends'' and in 15-minute components as ''The Rocky Show.'' |
| 17 | * The first three seasons of ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' aired on ABC's Saturday morning block. The fourth season premiered on the Fox Kids weekday block in fall 1991, with the third season episodes premiering on ABC at the same time, a truly unusual situation. |
| 18 | * ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' (American) from ABC to ABC Family. Although all of its content was taped before the move, there were unaired episodes still in the can, as well as enough raw footage that the producers could create "new" shows several years after taping ended. |
| 19 | ** The new run of the show airs on The CW. |
| 20 | * ''Clueless'' the TV series moved from ABC to UPN after its first season. |
| 21 | * ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' from ABC to Creator/CartoonNetwork, with 6 years or so between them. Apparently ''[=ReBoot=]'' was canceled solely because ABC was bought out by Disney, who wanted purely Disney-owned programming. The third season was produced in syndication through Canadian channels and the US didn't get that season until Creator/CartoonNetwork picked it up two years later. Being VindicatedByReruns, that paved the way for a fourth season. |
| 22 | * ''Series/TheHughleys'' moved from ABC to UPN in 2000. |
| 23 | * When ''Series/{{Taxi}}'' was cancelled by ABC, NBC picked it up; it ran for one more season. They kept it at Thursday nights at 9 pm, and ran ads with Danny [=DeVito=] saying "[[TakeThat Same time, better station!]]" |
| 24 | * After ''[[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppets Tonight]]'' did badly in the ratings, the show moved to the Creator/DisneyChannel. |
| 25 | * ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' moved from ABC to The WB. |
| 26 | * ''Series/{{Webster}}'' moved from ABC to first-run syndication. |
| 27 | * ''It's a Living'' from ABC to syndication. |
| 28 | * ''Series/MondayNightFootball'' moved from ABC to ESPN in 2006 after NBC bought the rights to the primetime game-of-the week package and moved it to Sunday. Because both ABC and ESPN are owned by Disney, the occasional Monday night game has shown up on ABC in the years since. |
| 29 | * ''Series/CougarTown'' moved to Creator/{{TBS}} [[http://thefutoncritic.com/news/2012/05/10/tbs-takes-over-cougar-town802111/20120510tbs01/ in 2013.]] |
| 30 | * ''Series/WonderWoman'' started on ABC, until the network decided it was too expensive to keep producing a historical series set in the 1940s. It was immediately picked up by CBS, who also changed the setting to the (then) modern day. |
| 31 | * ''Series/TheNakedTruth'' from ABC to NBC. |
| 32 | * ''The Wonderful World of Disney'' is an interesting case. It moved from ABC to NBC, then to CBS, back to ABC, then back to NBC, and then ABC again, though permanently this time since it's owned by Disney. |
| 33 | * ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'', ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' and ''WesternAnimation/LloydInSpace'' began on ABC, but all three shows moved to Creator/ToonDisney in 2002 once Creator/OneSaturdayMorning became ABC Kids. ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'' would move to Toon Disney the following year. |
| 34 | * ''WesternAnimation/ClerksTheAnimatedSeries'' sadly only aired two of its six episodes on ABC following its swift cancellation. In 2003, Creator/ComedyCentral picked up the series and aired all of the episodes. |
| 35 | * When [[SoapOpera soap operas]] ''Series/AllMyChildren'' and ''Series/OneLifeToLive'' were canned, they attempted to move to internet syndication. However, [[ExecutiveMeddling problems with the distributor]], Prospect Park, caused both productions to shut down. |
| 36 | * ''Series/FamilyFeud'' began on ABC and after its cancellation was revived by CBS. Each version had a concurrent syndicated version, the second of which stayed on for a few years after CBS cancelled it. The series was revived again strictly for syndication. The two primetime ''[[CelebrityEdition Celebrity Family Feud]]'' runs were also on NBC and ABC respectively. |
| 37 | * ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'' went from ABC to syndication, coinciding with Meredith Viera replacing Regis Philbin as host[[note]]Viera would leave in 2012, with Cedric the Entertainer taking her place the next season. Cedric was then replaced by Creator/TerryCrews afterward, and then finally by Chris Harrison for the remainder of the run[[/note]]. During its run on syndication, ABC aired two one-off special events (in 2004 and 2009 respectively) with Philbin returning for both. After the syndicated run ended in May 2019, ABC renewed the series for an eight-episode twenty-first season, this time celebrity-focused and hosted by Creator/JimmyKimmel. |
| 38 | * In May 2016, ABC cancelled ''Series/{{Nashville}}'' after four seasons. Just under a month later, Creator/{{CMT}} picked up the series for a fifth season. |
| 39 | * ''Series/TheBionicWoman'' moved from ABC to NBC for its third season. In a situation that remains unique for US network TV, Richard Anderson and Martin E. Brooks continued to play their characters Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells on both ''Bionic Woman'' and the parent series, ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'', which continued to air on ABC. However, ABC would not allow Lee Majors to appear as Steve Austin on the NBC show, ending those crossovers until three reunion TV movies were later produced. |
| 40 | * ''Series/TwinPeaks'' was revived by Creator/{{Showtime}} for its third season 26 years after the second season. |
| 41 | * ''Series/LastManStanding'' ran on ABC for six seasons before being canceled. A year later, the show was UnCanceled by FOX, who had always produced it anyway. |
| 42 | * ''Series/DesignatedSurvivor'' from ABC (USA) and Creator/{{CTV}} (Canada) to Netflix. However, the series was already billed as a Netflix original outside of the USA and Canada. Entertainment One, the show's non-US distributor; which also owns co-producer The Mark Gordon Company, produced Season 3. |
| 43 | * ''The Arthur Murray Party'' is not only one of the few 1950s U.S. TV shows to air on all four networks, it's probably the only one to air on all four at least twice. Starting on ABC, it went to [=DuMont=], then ABC again, then CBS, then [=DuMont=] again, then CBS again, then NBC, then CBS [[RuleOfThree again]], then NBC again, all of that within 1950-60. That the program was basically a 15 to 60-minute-long infomercial for the Arthur Murray dance studios probably contributed to its ridiculously nomadic nature. |
| 44 | * During the 1999-2001 period, several cartoons had their episode premieres flipped to and from ''[[Creator/OneSaturdayMorningAndABCKids One Saturday Morning]]'' to its companion, the Creator/{{UPN}}-based ''Disney's One Too''. ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'', ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'' each had episodes premiere on both blocks. |

| 47 | [[folder:From CBS to...]] |
| 48 | * ''Tom Corbett, Space Cadet'' (based on the Creator/RobertAHeinlein novel ''Literature/{{Space Cadet|Heinlein}}'') has had multiple hops, having started on CBS, moved to ABC, then to NBC, then to Creator/DuMont, then ''back'' to NBC all from 1950-1955. |
| 49 | * The 1950s game show ''Pantomime Quiz'' had it just as bad. It started on CBS, moved to NBC, went back to CBS, moved to [=DuMont=], went back ''again'' to CBS, then to ABC, then back '''a third time''' to CBS before finally ending its run on ABC. Then there are the revivals under the titles ''Stump the Stars'' (one season on CBS and a couple of short-lived syndication runs in the 1960s) and ''Celebrity Charades'' (a syndicated run in 1979 and on AMC in 2005). ''Pantomime Quiz'', along with ''Tom Corbett, Space Cadet'', enjoy the distinction of appearing on every national network available in the US at that time. A modern program would have to conduct dozens, if not hundreds of channel hops to match that today. |
| 50 | * ''Series/BachelorFather'' from CBS to NBC and finally to ABC. |
| 51 | * ''Series/CharlesInCharge'' from CBS to syndication. |
| 52 | * ''Series/TheJokersWild'' and ''Series/TicTacDough'' from CBS to syndication. |
| 53 | * ''Series/HeeHaw'' from CBS to syndication. |
| 54 | * ''Series/SearchForTomorrow'' from CBS to NBC. |
| 55 | * ''Series/TheEdgeOfNight'' from CBS to ABC. |
| 56 | * ''Series/{{Password}}'' started on CBS, then was canceled and revived on ABC. It was canceled and revived again on NBC as ''Password Plus'', then later ''Super Password''. It came full circle back to CBS, revived as ''Million Dollar Password'' nearly 20 years after ''Super Password'' was canceled and over 40 years since ''Password'' first debuted on CBS. Then it was revived yet again, finding itself back on NBC under its original ''Password'' title over a decade after ''Million Dollar Password'''s brief run. |
| 57 | * ''Series/GhostWhisperer'' was supposed to jump to ABC for the 2010-11 season but Jennifer Love Hewitt turned down an offer to return for another season so the show was canceled instead. |
| 58 | * ''Series/{{Flashpoint}}'' moved from CBS to [[{{Creator/IonTelevision}} Ion]] effective October 18, 2011. |
| 59 | * ''Series/{{Airwolf}}'' from CBS to Creator/USANetwork for its final season. |
| 60 | * ''The $10,000 Series/{{Pyramid}}'' to ABC. It was later retitled ''The $20,000 Pyramid'' and returned to CBS as ''The $25,000 Pyramid.'' |
| 61 | ** It returned to ABC as part of a prime time game show revival that includes ''Family Feud'' and ''To Tell the Truth''. |
| 62 | * ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' originated on CBS then moved to ABC in 1976. Episodes have since premiered on The WB, The CW, Creator/CartoonNetwork, Boomerang, and even home video. |
| 63 | * ''WesternAnimation/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventures'' to Fox. The new DIC-produced episodes were received so poorly that Fox replayed the far better Hanna-Barbera episodes aired the season before on CBS. |
| 64 | * ''Series/ForeverKnight'' started out as part of CBS's "Crime Time After Prime Time" rotation. When deals were made for Letterman to move into that timeslot, the first season was rerun for almost a second season's worth of time to keep the slot occupied. The show then moved to syndication for its second season, and to a rare combination of airing in syndication *and* on USA for a third season. |
| 65 | ** Many fans came to regret that third season seal, as USA reportedly demanded younger cast members be added and focused on, to the detriment of the established cast. (Jon Kapelos stated at the time that *he* left because from the original pilot to the end of the second season, he'd been playing his character for six years and wanted a change.) |
| 66 | * CBS's American version of ''Series/TheGreatBritishBakeOff'' (titled ''The American Baking Competition'')- had a summer run for a single season in 2013. In 2015, ABC produced a new version for its Christmas lineup, ''The Great Holiday Baking Show'', which returned the following year as ''The Great American Baking Show''[[note]]The British version is syndicated to Creator/{{PBS}}, but as ''[[MarketBasedTitle The Great British Baking Show]]'' because [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope Pillsbury owns a trademark on "Bake-Off"]] in relation to its own baking competition (which, coincidentally, was broadcast by CBS from its inception in the late-1940s to the early 2000s). After several seasons on ABC, the show later hopped to The Roku Channel in 2023.[[/note]] |
| 67 | * ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'' moved from CBS to the CW for its second season, and filming moved from Los Angeles to Vancouver. |
| 68 | * ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' aired its pilot on CBS, who turned the cartoon down, then was deferred to syndication for the rest of the first season and the second, before its third and final season moved to Creator/FoxKids in Fall 1992, after which they added [[BitingTheHandHumor "The Fox network executives" as a new pair of villains]]. |
| 69 | -->'''Buster:''' It could be worse. We could be stuck on [[{{Creator/NBC}} the Peacock Network]]. |
| 70 | * After 17 years, ''Series/{{Lassie}}'' moved from CBS to syndication where it aired for two more years. |
| 71 | * ''WesternAnimation/RescueHeroes'' from CBS after its first season to Creator/KidsWB beginning with season two, complete with a [[ReTool revamp]] and higher budget. Averted in the show's home country of Canada, where it aired on Creator/{{Teletoon}} for its entire run. |
| 72 | * ''Series/SilkStalkings'' is a unique case in that the rights were initially shared between CBS and the USA Network for its first two seasons, with USA airing the episodes a few days after they aired on CBS' late-night "Crimetime After Primetime" block. Then in 1993, CBS cancelled the entire "Crimetime" lineup, ''Silk Stalkings'' included, to make room for ''Series/TheLateShowWithDavidLetterman'', and the show became a USA exclusive for the remainder of its run. |
| 73 | * ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'' aired on CBS for its first two seasons from 1985 to 1987 and moved to syndication for its third season from 1988 to 1989. |
| 74 | * ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' aired on CBS for its first five seasons from 1955 to 1960 and on NBC for its sixth and seventh seasons from 1960 to 1962. After being retitled ''The Alfred Hitchcock Hour'', it returned to CBS for its next two seasons from 1962 to 1964 before again switching to NBC for its final season from 1964 to 1965. |
| 75 | * ''Series/StrikeItRich'' is an odd example. It began on CBS radio in 1947 and moved to NBC in 1950 where it lasted until 1957. In 1951, CBS adapted it for daytime television with a primetime version starting later that year. The primetime run was cancelled in 1955, and the daytime version ended a week after the NBC radio version went off the air. |
| 76 | * CBS had the airing rights to most ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' specials, like ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'', from the point of the specials' respective debuts until 2000 when the airing rights were moved to ABC. ABC would hold the airing rights to the specials until Fall 2020 when they were acquired by Apple exclusively for its Apple [=TV+=] streaming service. This exclusivity lasted for all of two seconds before the immense backlash over the beloved specials no longer being aired on broadcast television lead to Apple loaning out ''A Charlie Brown Christmas'' and ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownThanksgiving'' to Creator/{{PBS}} for the holiday season. |
| 77 | * First two seasons of the ''[[Film/AceVentura Ace Ventura: Pet Detective]]'' cartoon aired on CBS, with the third and final season airing on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}. |
| 78 | * ''Series/Evil2019'' and ''Series/SealTeam'' were shifted from CBS to the newly-minted Creator/ParamountPlus, with disproportionately high digital viewership being cited as a key reason for the moves. |
| 79 | * ''Series/MagnumPI2018'' was shifted from CBS to NBC, which picked it up for two seasons consisting of twenty episodes. |
| 80 | * Non-show examples: CBS' NBA coverage (which they started on in 1973, and ended in 1990) moved to NBC for the 1990-91 season (NBC lost it to ABC starting in 2002). Also, CBS' original NFC football coverage ended in 1994 (it had started in 1956), and moved to FOX; CBS got the NFL back in 1998 with the AFC rights, and has held those rights for a quarter-century (basically, ever since). |
| 81 | [[/folder]] |
| 82 | |
| 83 | [[folder:From NBC to...]] |
| 84 | * ''Series/{{JAG}}'' from Creator/{{NBC}} to Creator/{{CBS}}, where it ran for nine more seasons and [[SpinOff spun off]] the even more successful ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' (and the rest is history). |
| 85 | * ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' from NBC to syndication (like ''JAG'' above, a rare instance where the series took off ''after'' its ChannelHop). |
| 86 | * The early game show ''Masquerade Party'' may hold the record for most channel hops. It started on NBC, then it moved to CBS. After a brief hiatus, it returned to CBS, then it moved to ABC, returned to NBC, moved to CBS, then it went back ''again'' to NBC, then back ''yet again'' to CBS before ending its run on NBC. Fourteen years later, it was revived for one season in syndication. |
| 87 | * ''{{Series/Concentration}}'' from NBC to syndication. Then later, back to NBC as ''Classic Concentration''. |
| 88 | * After several decades on Creator/{{NBC}}, in September 2022 ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'' moved from NBC to the network's streaming service Creator/{{Peacock}}. |
| 89 | * ''Series/DiffrentStrokes'' from NBC to ABC for its final season. |
| 90 | * ''Series/ForYourLove'' from NBC to Creator/TheWB. |
| 91 | * ''Series/InTheHeatOfTheNight'', from NBC to CBS for the last two seasons and four [[MadeForTVMovie movies]]. |
| 92 | * ''Series/InTheHouse'', from NBC to UPN. |
| 93 | * ''Series/TheHoganFamily'', from NBC to CBS in its final season. |
| 94 | * ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' moved from NBC to ABC in 2008. Apparently some people were confused because ABC owned the show anyway, so it was a strange instance of being owned by one network and aired by another (see also ''Series/CarolineInTheCity'', which though shown on NBC was made by CBS Productions). |
| 95 | * ''Series/{{Medium}}'' from NBC to CBS in September 2009, cozied between ''Series/GhostWhisperer'' and ''Series/{{Numb3rs}}''; before it moved, it was the last CBS-produced show that wasn't on CBS or Creator/TheCW (which CBS owns half of). |
| 96 | * ''Series/{{Passions}}'' and ''Series/FridayNightLights'' both went from NBC to The 101 on [=DirecTV=] (a US satellite provider, for those non-US tropers here). |
| 97 | * ''Series/GetSmart'' moved from NBC to CBS for its fifth and final season. |
| 98 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSnorks'' was on NBC for two seasons. After a year-long hiatus, it jumped to syndication for two more. |
| 99 | * ''Series/{{Southland}}'' from NBC to TNT. |
| 100 | * After being snubbed by Jay Leno as Johnny Carson's replacement on ''Series/TheTonightShow'' (despite Carson actually having favored him over his regular guest host and eventual successor, Jay Leno), David Letterman left ''Series/LateNight'' and moved from NBC to CBS in 1993 to create a direct competitor to ''The Tonight Show'', ''Late Show'', while kept ''Late Night'' as its own and gave it to Creator/ConanOBrien. In its early years ''Late Show'' was very similar to ''Late Night'' (except with some WritingAroundTrademarks), but as Letterman grew into the timeslot, the show began to emulate the Johnny Carson-era ''Tonight Show''. |
| 101 | * ''I'll Fly Away'' had a MadeForTVMovie produced for Creator/{{PBS}} after cancellation by NBC. |
| 102 | * ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'''s ran on NBC for its first six seasons before moving to [=USA=] in it's seventh season, where it ran for another four seasons. |
| 103 | * What do ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleDrummerBoy'' have in common? They were all Creator/RankinBassProductions specials that aired originally on NBC, and their rebroadcasts all moved on to other networks when NBC lost the licenses to the specials. ''Rudolph'' would move to CBS in 1972 and remains there to this day, while ''The Little Drummer Boy'' moved to CBS in 1985, to ABC in 1989, and finally to ABC Family (now Freeform) in 2006.[[note]]At one point, General Electric (who became the parent company of NBC in 1986) held the rights to these specials, but ''Saturday Night Live'' creator Lorne Michaels bought the library from GE two years later. The pre-1974 catalog would change hands over the years before ultimately ending up with Creator/DreamWorksAnimation, through their 2012 purchase of Classic Media. The library from 1974-onwards is owned by Creator/WarnerBros[[/note]]\ |
| 104 | However, NBC got the last laugh in the end. Come 2016, and [=NBCUniversal=] reached a deal to acquire both specials' rights-holders, [=DreamWorks=] Animation. Thus, not only does NBC ''own'' the rights to these specials along with other pre-1974 R-B works, but [[TheDogBitesBack CBS and Freeform were put in a situation that could lead to them losing the broadcast rights to these specials along with every other pre-1974 Rankin/Bass special they may have as well]]. Fortunately for Freeform, they managed to hold on to the specials they had, and even got the cable rights to ''Rudolph'' and ''Frosty'', likely to make up for the loss of the post-1974 R-B specials to Creator/{{AMC}}. |
| 105 | * ''Series/SilverSpoons'' and ''Series/PunkyBrewster'' both jumped from NBC to syndication (both shows, along with Creator/{{ABC}} to Creator/{{CBS}} jumper ''Series/FamilyMatters'', were produced by David Duclon). In the case of ''Punky'', the move was a lot more complicated (see "Production Company Examples") |
| 106 | * ''Creator/ConanOBrien'' from NBC to TBS after some serious ExecutiveMeddling. |
| 107 | * ''Series/FatherDowlingMysteries'' from NBC to ABC. |
| 108 | * ''Series/TheGhostAndMrsMuir'' from NBC to ABC. |
| 109 | * ''The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd'' from NBC to Creator/{{Lifetime}}. |
| 110 | * ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' (original version) and ''Missing Links'' to ABC. Seven years after ABC canceled ''Price,'' it returned on CBS daytime (where it's been to this day) and syndication nighttime. |
| 111 | * ''Series/MatchGame'' landed on CBS four years after NBC canceled it, had a syndicated daily edition in 1979 (a nighttime edition ran concurrently and started in 1975), then it reappeared on NBC in 1983 as ''The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour,'' then on ABC in 1990 as simply ''Match Game'', then another syndicated edition appeared in 1998, followed 18 years later by a new primetime series on ABC. |
| 112 | * ''You Don't Say!'' was rebooted for ABC six years after NBC dropped it. |
| 113 | * ''Series/MamasFamily'' went to first-run syndication after one year on NBC. |
| 114 | * The daytime version of ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' moved from NBC (where it began in 1975) to CBS in 1989, then back to NBC for a few more months in 1991 before it was canceled. (The current syndicated version began in 1983.) |
| 115 | * ''Series/{{Community}}'' from NBC to the Internet ([[Platform/{{Yahoo}} Yahoo! Screen]]) after season 5. |
| 116 | * ''Hallmark Hall of Fame'' started airing on NBC in 1951, then the network cancelled it in 1978 and the program alternated with ABC and CBS for the next 36 years. However, in the summer of 2014, it was announced that the series would end its run on broadcast television and would become a Hallmark Channel original program. |
| 117 | * ''Series/UnbreakableKimmySchmidt'' was picked up by NBC for the 2015 midseason, then suddenly hopped to Netflix when it was offered a two full-season deal from the get-go. Though it's not quite the trope since this happened before the show even began production. |
| 118 | * The Miss USA Pageant, which was broadcast on NBC for many years, moved to the Reelz Channel (on cable) for 2015 after [=NBCUniversal=] cut ties with the pageant's owner, Donald Trump, over derogatory comments he made towards Mexican immigrants. After the Miss Universe Organization was sold to the marketing agency IMG, Miss USA and Miss Universe moved to Fox. |
| 119 | * ''Film/{{Fame}}'' from NBC to first-run syndication after season 2. Ironically, only the NBC seasons have been released on DVD to this day. |
| 120 | * The US versions of ''Series/TheWeakestLink'' and ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'' went from NBC to syndication. |
| 121 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Underdog}}'' ran for two seasons on NBC, then two seasons on CBS, then went immediately back to NBC for reruns. The belated final season also aired on NBC. |
| 122 | * The daytime version of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' moved from NBC to ABC. Later on in the ABC run, the series had a weekly syndicated version which would be revived twice after the network show went off the air. Two brief revivals were tried on NBC before CBS picked it up. |
| 123 | * ''Series/{{Matlock}}'' from NBC to ABC starting with its seventh season. |
| 124 | * ''[[WesternAnimation/VeggieTales VeggieTales on TV]]'' showed the first season and season two on the network's qubo block. 6 years after it was removed from qubo, it showed up in syndication with six episodes unaired by NBC. [[note]] However, a handful of NBC stations showed the episode "Gideon: Tuba Warrior" in August of 2008 during the middle of the day on a weekday afternoon, to make up the time lost for the qubo block due to the Beijing Olympics.[[/note]] |
| 125 | * The docudrama series ''The Big Story'' aired on NBC for eight seasons (1949–57) before moving to first-run syndication for its ninth and final season. |
| 126 | * The {{Revival}} of ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' aired on NBC for its first season from 1985 to 1986. After it was cancelled by NBC, it was picked up by the USA Network and three further seasons were produced from 1987 to 1989. |
| 127 | * The television run of ''Series/QueenForADay'' started on NBC and moved to ABC after four years. |
| 128 | * ''Series/UnsolvedMysteries'' moved from NBC to CBS to Creator/{{Lifetime}}. After a six-year absence, the series was resurrected by Creator/{{Spike}} in 2007, but then cancelled again in 2010. In 2020, Creator/{{Netflix}} resurrected the show once again. |
| 129 | * ''Series/EerieIndiana'' moved from NBC to Creator/DisneyChannel for reruns with one unaired episode debuting on said network and was revived by Creator/FoxKids as ''Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension'' in 1998 after the reruns of the show under the block fared well with their audience. |
| 130 | * ''Series/APBio'' was cancelled by NBC after its second season, sparking a campaign by the show's stars to encourage viewership of the series on Creator/{{Hulu}}. [=NBCUniversal=] took notice and decided to grant a third season via the then-upcoming Creator/{{Peacock}} service. |
| 131 | * ''Series/{{Manifest}}'' was cancelled by NBC after three seasons. By coincidence, just a short time earlier, the first two seasons of the show arrived on Creator/{{Netflix}}, which brought the series a legion of new fans just as the news of its axing hit. Although Netflix initially denied interest in rescuing the show, and NBC stood firm in their decision, it was later revealed both were looking to resurrect it. After the third season arrived on the service and surged interest further, Netflix announced they had secured the series for an extended fourth and final season. |
| 132 | * ''Series/MutualOfOmahasWildKingdom'' started on NBC in 1963 before moving to syndication in 1971. |

| 135 | [[folder:From PBS to...]] |
| 136 | * ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy'' went from PBS to Disney Channel, before finally retiring to Noggin. |
| 137 | * ''WesternAnimation/LibertysKids'' premiered on the Creator/PBSKids slot on PBS affiliates in the early 2000s, before going into syndication. In 2012, repeats started airing on CBS affiliates as part of the Creator/CookieJarTV slot. |
| 138 | * In January 2016, ''Series/SesameStreet'' began premiering new episodes on Creator/{{HBO}}, ending Creator/SesameWorkshop's long-running primary allegiance with Creator/{{PBS}} (and its forerunner, NET). The series still airs in reruns on Creator/PBSKids, with the HBO episodes premiering on their stations after a 9-month window. In 2020, first-run episodes moved to the streaming service Creator/HBOMax instead of HBO's linear channels, though the 9-month arrangement with PBS Kids is still in effect. |
| 139 | * The various installments of the ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy]]'' franchise have aired on various networks in the United States. ''The Noddy Shop'' and ''Make Way For Noddy'' both aired on Creator/PBSKids. ''Noddy In Toyland'' went from PBS to being exclusive to [[Creator/{{Amazon}} Amazon Instant Video]]. ''Noddy, Toyland Detective'' channel-hopped to Sprout a year before it became Creator/UniversalKids. |
| 140 | * In the US, ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' debuted as part of Creator/{{PBS}}'s ''Series/MasterpieceTheater'' in 2010. The show started airing on BBC America in 2014, though new episodes continue to be broadcast on PBS. |
| 141 | * The original version of ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' aired on Creator/PBSKids. When it was rebooted seven years after PBS dropped the show, the rights went to Creator/NickJr |
| 142 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' first aired on Creator/PBSKids in the United States as part of ''Series/ShiningTimeStation''. When PBS' rights expired in 1998, the show moved that fall to [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family]], where after a year of ''Shining Time Station'' repeats, Thomas got a new show called ''Storytime with Thomas''. During the same period, Creator/NickJr briefly aired repeats of ''Shining Time Station'' to promote ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad''. When Fox Family ended ''Storytime with Thomas'' in 2001, Thomas was not seen on a broadcast network until 2005, when it returned to PBS. [[note]] Only a handful of stations did so that year, and it didn't get shown nationwide until 2009. PBS Kids Sprout also showed it during this time.[[/note]] In 2017, PBS' contract to the show expired and it returned to Nick Jr. Nick Jr held the rights until 2020, when it jumped to Creator/{{Netflix}}. The franchise would not return to broadcast television until Creator/{{Cartoonito}} acquired the rights to [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo the revamped series]]. |
| 143 | * ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'' went from Creator/PBSKids (as part of a Sunday morning block "Bookworm Bunch") to TLC's weekday morning block "Ready Set Learn" and Creator/DiscoveryChannel as part of their afternoon block (Which also had the "Ready Set Learn Block") and later aired on Creator/{{Qubo}}. |
| 144 | ** The same goes for two other Bookworm Bunch shows: ''WesternAnimation/MarvinTheTapDancingHorse'' and ''WesternAnimation/ElliotMoose'' |
| 145 | * ''WesternAnimation/JayJayTheJetPlane'' used to be on TLC until 2001, where it went to PBS...and then flew over to Qubo years later. |
| 146 | * ''WesternAnimation/JakersTheAdventuresOfPiggleyWinks'' also went to Qubo, though PBS still owns distribution rights. |
| 147 | * PBS aired ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' for 20 years on end until they retired it from the lineup in January 2021. In September of that year, the series returned to American television via the US Creator/{{Cartoonito}} block. |
| 148 | * While it technically was never a part of PBS' main schedule, ''WesternAnimation/ZulaPatrol'' aired on certain PBS stations as a program syndicated through American Public Television. Starting in 2008, the series began airing on Qubo. However, some PBS stations still continued to air the show even after Qubo acquired it. |

| 152 | |
| 153 | * ''Series/NineOneOne'' was cancelled by FOX in 2023, but was immediately picked up by ABC for a seventh season. |
| 154 | * ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', after airing in reruns on G4, was uncancelled after three seasons, and its fourth season premiered worldwide on Creator/{{Netflix}} in 2013, with another season premiering in winter 2016. |
| 155 | ** It was evidently ''trying'' to hop to a cable network after [[ScrewedByTheNetwork abuse by the execs at Fox]], as evidenced (and {{Jossed}}) by this veiled joke in Season Three: |
| 156 | -->'''George Bluth, Sr.:''' Well, I don't think the Home Builders Organization is going to be supporting us. |
| 157 | -->'''Michael Bluth:''' No, the [[FunWithAcronyms HBO's]] not gonna want us. What do we do now? |
| 158 | -->'''George Sr.:''' Well, I think it's Creator/{{Showtime}} ... we have to have a show during dinner. |
| 159 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' is an interesting example. From {{Creator/FOX}} to Creator/AdultSwim was only reruns, but it was then picked up by Creator/ComedyCentral for new episodes, with reruns being added to Creator/{{SyFy}} in 2017, and being put on Creator/{{Hulu}} in 2019. Meanwhile, it also briefly returned to FOX for a crossover episode with ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
| 160 | ** Syfy and Comedy Central lost the broadcast rights to ''Futurama'' in November 2021. Later the same month, the series began airing reruns on Creator/{{FXX}}, and in December 2021... and against all odds, the series returned to Adult Swim, with the former channel sharing syndication rights. In addition to all that insanity, reruns ended up returning to Comedy Central in mid-2022, and ''another'' reboot started airing on Creator/{{Hulu}} in 2023, meaning that the series currently airs on three different networks every weekday. |
| 161 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThePJs'' from FOX to Creator/TheWB in its third and final season. Creator/WarnerBros also took over production from Disney for said season, though it would end up selling that season to Disney in a legal settlement over ownership of the IP. |
| 162 | * ''Series/{{Sliders}}'' from {{Creator/FOX}} to the [[Creator/{{Syfy}} Sci-Fi Channel]]. |
| 163 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' from Creator/FoxKids to Creator/TheWB when the latter first formed. Lampshaded in several of the earliest promotional spots for the block. In 2018, Creator/{{Hulu}} announced that they were bringing the show back, resulting in ''WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020''. |
| 164 | * ''[[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon: Digital Monsters]]'' from Creator/FoxKids to Creator/{{UPN}}. The dubs of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', and ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' first aired on Creator/FoxKids, while the ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' dub first aired on Creator/{{UPN}}'s Disney's One Too block. |
| 165 | * ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'' from Creator/FoxKids to [[Creator/{{Freeform}} ABC Family]], although Fox Kids reran the first 26 episodes until its shutdown. |
| 166 | * ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' from Creator/FoxKids to [[Creator/{{One Saturday Morning and ABC Kids}} ABC Kids]]. ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' entries would concurrently air on both the ABC network and ABC Family/Toon Disney while Disney owned the franchise. After Disney sold ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' to Saban, entries started airing on both {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} & Nicktoons. It remained on Nicktoons until mid-2017 when it became exclusive to Nick. However, series owners Creator/{{Hasbro}} chose not to renew their contract with Nickelodeon after the 2021 season. The series would move to Creator/{{Netflix}} shortly thereafter. |
| 167 | * When [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] acquired the CW's Saturday morning airtime, ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2003}}'' (2003) and ''VideoGame/DinosaurKing'' moved their premieres over there. |
| 168 | * ''Series/GroundedForLife'' from Fox to Creator/TheWB. |
| 169 | * ''Series/AmericasMostWanted'' went to Creator/{{Lifetime}} beginning Dec. 2, 2011, after Fox canceled the show for a second time. Although both series are technically owned by Disney, Fox still owns the IP and continued to air quarterly specials during the Lifetime run. In January 2020, Fox announced it would revive the series once again, this time with a new host and a global reach. |
| 170 | * ''Series/{{Bridezillas}}'' began as a special on Fox and spent some time on the New York-only MSG Metro Network before finding its current home at WE (where it became AdoredByTheNetwork). |
| 171 | * ''{{Series/COPS}}'' moved from Fox to Creator/SpikeTV, later rebranded Paramount Network, in the fall of 2013. Paramount later cancelled ''COPS'' in the summer of 2020 after criticisms of the show for allegedly glamorizing police brutality was taken seriously after the killing of George Floyd. The show continued to produce episodes for international syndication before eventually being picked up by the Fox News-controlled streaming service Fox Nation. |
| 172 | * ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' moved to Creator/{{TBS}} in the fall of 2014. |
| 173 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'' from Fox Box (later [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4KidsTV]]) to Creator/CartoonNetwork. Partway through their broadcast, 4Kids just stopped airing the series on their block (allegedly due to content restrictions). The remaining 4Kids dubbed episodes later aired on Creator/{{Toonami}} (who was already airing reruns), leading to the eventual {{Creator/FUNimation}} dub. In 2013, the [=FUNimation=]-dubbed episodes returned to premiering Toonami, now a part of Creator/AdultSwim, then for a second stint in 2022. |
| 174 | * ''Series/TheMindyProject'' from Fox to Creator/{{Hulu}} for the fourth season. |
| 175 | * ''Animation Domination HD'' moved from FOX, where it was cancelled in June of 2014, to [[Creator/FXNetworks FXX]], though FOX briefly aired a version of the block that was 100% reruns of previous shows and segments. ''WesternAnimation/NeoYokio'' was produced for and was originally going to air on the block, but after ADHD's collapse it was picked up by Creator/{{Netflix}}. |
| 176 | * ''Series/HoleInTheWall'' from Fox to Creator/CartoonNetwork. |
| 177 | * After FOX cancelled ''Series/AmericanIdol'', ABC picked it up for a revival. |
| 178 | * ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' from FOX to NBC. Similar to ''Scrubs'', people were confused since NBC owned the show. |
| 179 | * The Billboard Music Awards first aired on FOX in 1990 and lasted until 2006, ABC brought the show back in 2011, then the show left ABC for NBC starting in 2018. |
| 180 | * ''Series/{{Lucifer|2016}}'' from FOX to Creator/{{Netflix}}. |
| 181 | * ''Series/AreYouSmarterThanA5thGrader'' ran its first two seasons on Fox, then went into syndication for Seasons 3 and 4 before being cancelled. Season 5 aired on Fox in 2015, after which the show was quietly cancelled again. In 2019, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} brought it back for a 6th Season, with Wrestling/JohnCena replacing Creator/JeffFoxworthy as the host. Nickelodeon quietly cancelled the show after just one season (likely due to the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, but their reasoning has never been made public). That being said, a new video game version of the show for the 8th and 9th-gen consoles was released by Creator/THQNordic in August of 2022, but neither Foxworthy nor Cena was brought back as the host. |
| 182 | * Shortly after its second season was completed, it was announced that season 3 of ''Series/TheOrville'' would premiere on Creator/{{Hulu}} instead of Fox. |
| 183 | * Averted with ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', as the show has always been a Fox program. That being said, the BannedEpisode, "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", ended up on Adult Swim first. |
| 184 | * The Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse started with ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''[=/=]''The Adventures of Batman and Robin'' on Fox in 1992. It then moved to Creator/TheWB, starting with ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' in 1996 and continuing with ''B: TAS'' revivial ''The New Batman Adventures'', SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', and ''Beyond'' SpinOff ''WesternAnimation/TheZetaProject''. Finally, it ended up on Creator/CartoonNetwork with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''[=/=]''Justice League Unlimited'' in 2001. |

| 187 | [[folder:From The WB / The CW to...]] |
| 188 | [-In addition to the listed examples, all shows retained by Creator/TheCW after the WB/UPN merger switched stations in some markets, as The CW inherited stations from both UPN and The WB.-] |
| 189 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' moved from Creator/TheWB to Creator/{{UPN}} after its fifth season. This temporarily put a halt to crossovers with its spinoff ''Series/{{Angel}}'', which remained on The WB. |
| 190 | * ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' left The CW at the end of the third season and went to Canada's Creator/{{Teletoon}} and Creator/CartoonNetwork in the U.S at the same time. Creator/WarnerBros lost all distribution rights to the franchise (Creator/CookieJar now owns the entire series) but retained trademarks on the character names. |
| 191 | * ''Series/{{Roswell}}'' moved from Creator/TheWB to Creator/{{UPN}} after its second season, at the same time as ''Buffy''. |
| 192 | * ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'', ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs'', and ''WesternAnimation/BabyBlues,'' respectively. Only eight of each series' single 13-episode seasons [[note]](although ''Baby Blues'' has a second season which remains unaired to this day)[[/note]] aired on The WB. Thanks to managerial changes following the AOL Time Warner merger which caused the Turner networks to "play nice" with The WB, Creator/AdultSwim managed to air the remaining episodes of each series in 2002. |
| 193 | * ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' moved from Kids' WB and Creator/CartoonNetwork to Creator/DisneyXD when it was revived as ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinChronicles''. This is due to change of studios from Warner Bros. Animation to France-based Genao Productions along with most of the cast members being replaced in the English dub as well (with the notable exceptions being Creator/TaraStrong, who voiced Omi and Creator/JenniferHale, who voiced Katnappe). Not only that, some of the Shen Gong Wu had to be renamed due to Warner Bros. still owning the names of them from ''Showdown''. |
| 194 | ** Averted in the UK and Ireland as ''Chronicles'' aired on Cartoon Network, like its predecessor. |
| 195 | * ''Series/VeronicaMars'' was one of many UPN/The WB shows to jump to The CW, before getting {{uncancelled}} eleven years later on Hulu. |
| 196 | * After debuting in syndication, ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' aired on the Kids WB Saturday morning block from February 1999 to September 2006, when [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids Entertainment]] lost the license to Pokemon USA. From 2006, starting with the ninth season, new episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork (which had been airing reruns of the show since 2002). The original series aired in reruns on Creator/{{Boomerang}}, while Cartoon Network continued to play new episodes of the current series. |
| 197 | * Semi-example with ''Anime/YuGiOh''. While the original series aired in its entirety on Kids' WB, its spin-off ''[[Anime/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsters Capsule Monsters]]'' aired on the [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment [=4Kids=]TV]] block on Creator/{{FOX}} after the former block moved to Creator/TheCW. [=4Kids=]TV also picked up reruns of the original series at the same time. |
| 198 | ** The spinoffs always changed hands. [[Anime/YuGiOhGX GX]] aired entirely on Cartoon Network, [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 5D's]] kept switching between Kids' WB and Cartoon Network. [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal Zexal]] aired on [=CW4Kids=] and its sucessor blocks. [[Anime/YuGiOhARCV ARC-V]] aired on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons. [[Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS VRAINS]] aired on Creator/PlutoTV. |
| 199 | * As mentioned with Fox, The Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse moved from Creator/{{Fox}} to the WB, starting with ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''. However, after it, ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The New Batman Adventures]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' wrapped production and running concurrently with fellow DCAU series ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' and ''Beyond'' SpinOff ''WesternAnimation/TheZetaProject'', it ended up on Creator/CartoonNetwork with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' in 2001. |

| 202 | [[folder:From a Cable Channel to...]] |
| 203 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} to Disney's Creator/{{ABC}}. |
| 204 | * Contrary to popular belief, ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' was always a [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family]] program in the United States. However, several episodes were aired as specials on Creator/FoxKids during the series' first season. Averted in Canada and France, where Creator/{{Teletoon}} and France 2 respectively aired the series in its entirety. |
| 205 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{SuperWhy}}'' had its stop motion pitch pilot offered to Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in 1999 but they declined, luckily Creator/{{PBS Kids}} picked up the pilot for a full series in 2007. |
| 206 | * This happens with a lot of sister/parent networks, as they often show the same shows at the same time. ''WesternAnimation/KappaMikey'' was produced solely for Nicktoons Network, but because it was controlled by their larger parent network Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, new episodes sometimes premiered there first. When episodes stopped airing on Nick but continued on Nicktoons, some took this to mean it was canceled. The show did in fact end after the second season. |
| 207 | ** There has been a common practice by Nickelodeon over the past two decades of burning off new episodes of cancelled Nicktoons on the Nicktoons channel. Examples include ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger'', ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'', ''WesternAnimation/ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera'', ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'', ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'', ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'', ''WesternAnimation/TuffPuppy'', ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'', ''WesternAnimation/RobotAndMonster'', ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Breadwinners}}'', ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks'', ''WesternAnimation/PigGoatBananaCricket'', ''WesternAnimation/BunsenIsABeast'', ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToTheWayne'', ''WesternAnimation/ItsPony'', and ''Series/MrMeaty''. |
| 208 | * Much of the Creator/NickJr shows during the 2010s (''WesternAnimation/ShimmerAndShine'', ''WesternAnimation/RustyRivets'', ''WesternAnimation/NellaThePrincessKnight'', ''WesternAnimation/SunnyDay'', ''WesternAnimation/TopWing'', ''WesternAnimation/ButterbeansCafe'', ''WesternAnimation/AbbyHatcher'' and ''WesternAnimation/CornAndPeg'') had new episodes air on the Nick Jr. on Nick programming block before being moved to the Nick Jr. channel later into their runs. |
| 209 | * In its native Canada, ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' hopped from Creator/{{CTV}} to Creator/MuchMusic, Creator/{{MTV}} Canada, and now, Creator/FamilyChannel. In the US, the series started out on Creator/{{Noggin}}'s teen block, "The N," before being carried over to Creator/TeenNick (and later to Netflix). |
| 210 | * ''Wrestling/WWERaw'' from Creator/USANetwork to TNN/ Creator/SpikeTV, and then back to USA. |
| 211 | ** ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown'' itself is probably their biggest example of network hopping, from Creator/{{UPN}} to Creator/TheCW, then to Creator/MyNetworkTV, and again to Creator/{{Syfy}}, yet again to the Creator/USANetwork (meaning that both major weekly primetime WWE series were scheduled on the same network), and once more to Creator/{{Fox}} (during MLB World Series season, sister network [=FS1=], which carries reruns on Tuesday nights, airs the series in lieu of Fox). |
| 212 | ** ''Sunday Night HEAT'' went from USA to MTV, then it joined Raw on Spike for a few years before becoming an international and internet-only show for the last three years of its life. |
| 213 | ** ''[[Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}} NXT]]'' started out on [=SyFy=] before leaving TV altogether, becoming a Creator/{{Hulu}} exclusive. It was rebooted as WWE's revamped developmental promotion during its time solely on Hulu, it became shared with WWE Network once that got off the ground and in September 2019 it would later move to USA Network in a weekly live format. For the first two weeks of the move, USA would air the first hour of the show while WWE Network streamed the second hour due to USA's contractual obligations to air ''Series/{{Suits}}'', which had two episodes left to broadcast. |
| 214 | * ''[[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA/Impact Wrestling]]'' went from Fox Sports Net to a brief period of being WebOriginal, to Creator/SpikeTV, to Destination America, to Pop TV, to Pursuit Channel at the beginning of 2019 and has since aired on AXS TV after parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment acquired AXS in September 2019. |
| 215 | * ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' also moved from Showtime to the Sci-Fi Channel for its seventh and final season. (The producers of ''SG-1'' were already known for the 90s Outer Limits when the show started) |
| 216 | * ''Series/ProjectRunway'' moved from Bravo to Creator/{{Lifetime}} after the fifth season. Thanks to A&E Networks terminating its contract for the show thanks to The Weinstein Company's bankruptcy, it will return to Bravo for its seventeenth. |
| 217 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', in America, had a brief stint on Nickelodeon before being booted over to Creator/CartoonNetwork. |
| 218 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' moved from Creator/CartoonNetwork to Creator/{{Netflix}} for its sixth season as a result of Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm. The seventh and final season then debuted on Creator/DisneyPlus. |
| 219 | * ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'', from Naruto on Creator/CartoonNetwork to ''Naruto Shippuden'' on Creator/DisneyXD and then, to much rejoicing, Creator/AdultSwim. |
| 220 | * ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is a rather odd example. From the second season onward, new episodes would alternate between premieres on Creator/DisneyChannel and Creator/DisneyXD. By the end of its run, it had been rebranded as a Creator/DisneyXD original series. |
| 221 | ** ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck'' is officially considered a Disney Channel series, but episodes actually premiered on Creator/DisneyXD. |
| 222 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' moved from Creator/CartoonNetwork to Creator/DisneyXD in 2016, starting with the back-to-back premieres of the 19th movie and the ''Sun and Moon'' season. Then in 2020, the dub for the following series, ''Journeys'', debuted on Creator/{{Netflix}} for U.S. audiences only. |
| 223 | * Starting in May 2018 with ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', after having spent the past few years with Creator/DisneyXD as their animation network, all non-preschool programming produced by Disney Television Animation was moved to Creator/DisneyChannel for premieres. The other shows that made the switch were ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'', ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'', and ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''. |
| 224 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6TheSeries'' moved back to premiering on Disney XD midway through its second season. ''[=DuckTales=]'' would end up doing the same for its own third season just a few months later. |
| 225 | * Episodes 3-5 of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'' appeared simultaneously on Disney+ and Disney Now/Disney Channel On-Demand before their linear Disney Channel premieres. The same thing happened to episodes 2-5 of the show's second season. |
| 226 | * ''Series/{{Damages}}'' from FX to The 101 on [=DirecTV=]. |
| 227 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}}'' from HBO to The Family Channel (now Creator/{{Freeform}}) to Creator/{{ABC}} to Creator/DisneyChannel. It then moved to CBS' KOL Secret Slumber Party slot. |
| 228 | * American broadcasts of ''Series/DoctorWho'' moved from Creator/{{Syfy}} to [[Creator/TheBBC BBC America]] (who had repeat rights previously) after New Series 4. Following the conclusion of the 2022 specials and Creator/JodieWhittaker's tenure as the Thirteenth Doctor, the show moved over to Creator/DisneyPlus everywhere outside the UK and Ireland (contrary to popular belief, this did not give Disney the rights to ''Doctor Who'', only the rights to air it internationally). |
| 229 | * ''Music/TheWiggles'' from Creator/DisneyChannel to Creator/{{Sprout}}. This was due to the ''Series/ImaginationMovers'' slowly becoming more popular, and Sprout's own block ''Series/MusicalMorningsWithCoo'' failing to bring in ratings the channel wanted. As a result, Sprout gave them ''Series/SproutsWigglyWaffle''. |
| 230 | * American broadcasts of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' moved from Creator/{{Syfy}} to Starz with the Starz co-produced ''[[Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay Miracle Day]]''. Starz saw a big subscriber jump as a result of the move. |
| 231 | * ''Series/StargateSG1'' moved from Showtime to the Sci-Fi Channel after its fifth season. |
| 232 | * ''Series/NashvilleStar'' hopped from Creator/USANetwork to Creator/{{NBC}} for its sixth and final season. |
| 233 | * In Mexico, ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' channel hopped from Cartoon Network to Boomerang. This is technically a minor example since Boomerang is usually where old Cartoon Network shows end up, and both channels are owned by TimeWarner / WarnerMedia. |
| 234 | * The American rights to broadcast the English Premier League went from a joint venture between ESPN and Fox to [=NBCUniversal=], beginning with the 2013 season. Most matches are shown on the NBC Sports network, with a few shown on NBC proper, and Spanish language on Telemundo. |
| 235 | * ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'', ''Series/TheLeague'', ''Series/Legit2013'', and ''Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell'' all made the hop from Creator/{{FX|Networks}} to its fledgling comedy-oriented spinoff channel [=FXX=] in Fall 2013. |
| 236 | ** ''Series/{{Wilfred}}'' followed suit in 2014, followed by ''Series/YoureTheWorst'' in 2015. |
| 237 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' was originally meant to move to FXX in 2016, with the plan being to pair it up with a new show called ''Cassius and Clay''. When that show was cancelled before it even aired, they ended up keeping the show on FX for its seventh season. After being renewed for three more seasons, it finally moved to FXX in 2017. |
| 238 | * In America, ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'' went from Creator/ABCFamily (Which was still known as Fox Family when the first few episodes premieres) to Creator/DisneyChannel. |
| 239 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'', from Creator/ABCFamily to Creator/CartoonNetwork after the second season, then Creator/UniversalKids with the sixth season, with the upcoming seventh season set to return to Cartoon Network. The same thing happened in South East Asia, where it aired on Creator/DisneyChannel then moved to Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in the 2010s. |
| 240 | * ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' moved to Creator/{{Nicktoons}} after Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} tried the show and gave up after two episodes. Reruns aired concurrently on Creator/TheCW's Creator/{{Vortexx}} until that block ended, and the second season aired solely on Nicktoons. |
| 241 | * ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' aired on Creator/TheHub Network until the channel was bought back by Discovery from Hasbro and rebranded into Discovery Family. ''Prime'''s sequel series, ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'', premiered on Cartoon Network. The companion series ''Rescue Bots'' and reruns of ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' still air on Discovery Family. |
| 242 | * ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' went from airing on Nicktoons and Creator/TheCW to Creator/{{Toonami}} and Creator/AdultSwim, which had the fortunate side-effect of reversing much of the censorship. Toonami also premiered ''The Final Chapters'' along with ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. |
| 243 | * ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', which originally aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork, had its season 2 episodes aired on Creator/{{Boomerang}}, with the sole exception being the first season 2 episode, "Tommy Thunder: Method Actor". This was to raise popularity for Boomerang, which was sadly required a paid upgrade for most cable plans. |
| 244 | ** Interestingly, some season 2 episodes were posted on the Cartoon Network site. |
| 245 | * In Asia, ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' and ''Series/SesameStreet'' started out on Hallmark Channel Asia in the early 2000s. Then the channel got screwed when NBC pulled out of the deal. However, they've since found a new home on Playhouse Disney Asia (however ''Clifford'' got screwed when they changed over to Disney Junior Asia). |
| 246 | * Around 2014-15, Cartoon Network began moving multiple shows off-network (even shows that hadn't premiered yet) in order to free up timeslots to show reruns of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'': |
| 247 | ** The decision to air ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' and ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' on Creator/{{Boomerang}} caused much backlash from Comcast cable customers, since they don't get the channel. Reruns of the original ''Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies'' shorts, as well as the original ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts, also moved off-network to Boomerang, but in this case, they were already airing on the network. Cartoon Network eventually changed their mind, as both shows would premiere on the network first. ''Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies'' and ''Tom and Jerry'' shorts also stayed on CN. |
| 248 | * ''{{Series/Overhaulin}}'' originally aired on TLC from 2004 to 2008. The series was UnCancelled on sister channel Velocity four years later. |
| 249 | * ''WesternAnimation/HarryAndHisBucketFullOfDinosaurs'' moved from Cartoon Network to Creator/{{Qubo}} in the US. |
| 250 | * ''Series/DoubleDare1986'' briefly tried a spinoff on the Fox Network called ''Family Double Dare'' before producing their own on Nickelodeon. |
| 251 | * The pilot episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheGetAlongGang'' aired on Nickelodeon. The series itself would later be picked up by CBS. |
| 252 | * ''WesternAnimation/MinaAndTheCount'' first aired on Creator/{{Cartoon Network}}'s ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' as a standalone short and later appeared as a series of shorts on the Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} animated anthology show ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons''. |
| 253 | * The fifth season of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' aired on Creator/AdultSwim instead of primetime Creator/CartoonNetwork. While in the US this is technically an example (as Adult Swim is considered a separate network for ratings purposes), it is a full-throated hop in the UK, where Adult Swim airs on Fox instead of Cartoon Network. |
| 254 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' was aired on Disney XD in the UK and Netherlands. |
| 255 | ** While the UK ended its Disney run with "Action", the series continued on Kix. |
| 256 | ** In the Netherlands, Cartoon Network picked up the show where "Island" ended and aired "Total Drama Action". |
| 257 | * ''Literature/GuessHowMuchILoveYou'', for its first season in the United States, the show aired on Disney Junior. They eventually ditched the show, but then Starz picked up both the first and second seasons. However, the second season uses British voices, having apparently never been dubbed using U.S. American English sounding voices. This season was also made available on a streaming service available to some American libraries called Hoopla, but not in high-definition. |
| 258 | * ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' originally premiered on Disney Channel, but after March 2014, it moved to Disney XD for premieres, and was eventually branded as a Disney XD original series. It eventually stopped airing on Disney Channel all together, thus officially assuming the Disney XD name. This eventually caused it to be ScrewedByTheNetwork and eventually cancelled to fans' chagrin. |
| 259 | * ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' aired its first two seasons on Creator/CartoonNetwork before suddenly being cancelled. After finding success on streaming, the third season ''Outsiders'' is set to air on the Creator/DCUniverse to avoid being ScrewedByTheNetwork, and later Creator/HBOMax. |
| 260 | * After ''Chelsea Lately'' ended on Creator/{{E}}, Chelsea Handler launched a similar show, ''Chelsea'', on Creator/{{Netflix}}. |
| 261 | * Likewise, a few years after E! ended ''Series/TheSoup'', Netflix began ''Series/TheJoelMcHaleShowWithJoelMcHale''. |
| 262 | * ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' went from Creator/{{LOGO}} to Creator/{{VH1}}, in a move to broaden its exposure. Even though it was the highest-rated show on LOGO for years, many cable/satellite providers don't carry the LGBT-centric channel, whereas [=VH1=] has been a staple of basic cable for decades. |
| 263 | * After many years on Creator/{{Freeform}} (formerly ABC Family) as part of the ''25 Days of Christmas'' lineup, all of the post-1974 Creator/RankinBass Christmas specials (most notably ''WesternAnimation/RudolphsShinyNewYear'', ''WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheYearWithoutASantaClaus'' among others) moved to Creator/{{AMC}} as part of a multi-year deal with library owner Creator/WarnerBros effective 2018. Since 2018, AMC would air some of the specials during the weekdays of November (post-Thanksgiving) up till Christmas Day. Around the same period, during the weekends of December, AMC would host an all-day marathon of every post-1974 Rankin-Bass Christmas special up till ''Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July'' called "Rankin/Bass Weekends''. However, AMC didn't bring back "Rankin/Bass Weekends" for the 2021 holiday season (much to the annoyance of old school Christmas fans). |
| 264 | * ''WesternAnimation/TwelveForever'' was a pilot created for Cartoon Network among several others in 2015, but the show was never picked up for a full series. In 2017, Netflix got the show and gave it a full series contract set to premiere in 2019. |
| 265 | * ''Series/You2018'' went from Lifetime to Netflix for its second season. |
| 266 | * Shortly after ''Series/{{Longmire}}'' was cancelled by Creator/AAndE following its third season, Creator/{{Netflix}} commissioned a fourth season. It lasted two more additional seasons before being cancelled again. |
| 267 | * ''WesternAnimation/SummerCampIsland'' and ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'', two Creator/CartoonNetwork originals, were rebranded as Creator/HBOMax original series and moved to the streaming service in Summer 2020. However, this had the side effect of abruptly making both shows a case of NoExportForYou over a year, until overseas versions of the service were established. |
| 268 | ** Both these shows (and [[WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes a few others]]) were intended to be on HBO Max from the start. Issues regarding the merger of AT&T and Time Warner caused the creation of the HBO Max streaming service to be delayed, resulting said programs airing on Cartoon Network instead. |
| 269 | ** Ironically, for its final season, ''Summer Camp Island'' moved back to Cartoon Network. |
| 270 | * ''WesternAnimation/GlitchTechs'': The show was originally planned to air on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, before the channel decided to release it through Creator/{{Netflix}} as part of several programming deals made with the streaming company. |
| 271 | * Creator/AdultSwim held cable rights to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' for about 18 years, sharing them with sister network Creator/{{TBS}}. For season 16 onward, Creator/{{Disney}}-owned channels [[Creator/FXNetworks FXX]] and Creator/{{Freeform}} took over syndication duties, with seasons 1-15 moving to those networks in 2021 after Adult Swim and TBS lost the rights. |
| 272 | ** FX also started airing the show around the time Seasons 1-15 switched networks. |
| 273 | * Like the aforementioned ''Family Guy'' example, Adult Swim had held cable rights to ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' since June 2013 and has shared with TBS since 2016. For season 9 onward, FXX took over syndication duties. Adult Swim and TBS are set to lose rights to previous seasons in 2023. |
| 274 | * A planned second revival of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' would move from Creator/{{MTV}} to Creator/ComedyCentral, with planned ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' spin-off ''Jodie'' also being pitched to Comedy Central instead of MTV. |
| 275 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' went from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, then to Creator/SpikeTV as the infamous ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpyAdultPartyCartoon'', and then to Comedy Central for another revival without involvement from its rather controversial creator Creator/JohnKricfalusi. |
| 276 | * ''Bellator MMA'' spent seven years on Creator/{{Spike|TV}}, and stayed on there even as the network underwent an AudienceShift and later relaunched as Creator/ParamountNetwork in 2018. Then, in October 2020, ''Bellator'' moved its cards to CBS Sports Network as a result of the re-merger between Viacom and CBS and Paramount Network electing to relaunch as a movies-based network to finish off its NetworkDecay. In April 2021, ''Bellator'' will move its telecasts to Creator/{{Showtime}}, bringing that network back to mixed martial arts after a nearly decade-long absence from the sport. |
| 277 | * A few shows produced by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} were originally intended to premiere on the actual television channel, but instead had new episodes released onto Creator/ParamountPlus (formerly named CBS All Access), then aired on linear television via Nick approximately six months after their Paramount+ release dates. These shows include... |
| 278 | ** ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral'', a prequel series to ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' |
| 279 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats|2021}}'', the reboot of [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} the series of the same name]] that originally aired on Nickelodeon proper |
| 280 | ** ''WesternAnimation/BigNate'' |
| 281 | ** ''Series/TheFairlyOddParentsFairlyOdder'', a sequel series to ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', which also originally aired on Nickelodeon proper before getting booted over to Nicktoons for its final 10 episodes (amusingly, this series would briefly '''continue''' airing on Nickelodeon '''after''' it was '''purged''' from Paramount+ in March 2023) |
| 282 | * ''Literature/MrMercedes'' was left stranded after its second season when [=AT&T=]'s Audience network, which was exclusive to [=DirectTV=] and other [=AT&T=]-owned platforms, was sunsetted in May 2020; in September of that year, it was announced the show would be carried instead by Creator/{{Peacock}}. |
| 283 | * ''Series/{{Raised by Wolves|2020}}'' was originally produced as a Creator/{{TNT}} original series. After the network elected not to air it, sister entity Creator/HBOMax picked it up and rechristened it as a Max Original. |
| 284 | * ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'' aired its first five seasons on Disney Channel. When the show was retooled into "The Wonderful World Of Mickey Mouse", it moved to Disney Plus. |
| 285 | * ''Series/{{Vikings}}'' : For most of the series, it aired on Creator/TheHistoryChannel. For the second half of the sixth season, it's airing on Creator/PrimeVideo. |
| 286 | * In the United States, ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017'' originally aired on Cartoon Network. It moved to Paramount+ for future seasons of the show. |
| 287 | * The ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' TV adaptation was initally intended to air on Creator/{{Showtime}}, but got moved to Paramount+ due to executives at Creator/ViacomCBS wanting a tentpole show for the streaming service. |
| 288 | * ''Series/GangsOfLondon'' was slated to make its U.S. premiere on Creator/{{Cinemax}}, until upper management at [=WarnerMedia=] decided to end scripted original programming at the channel in favor of prioritizing Creator/HBOMax. With Cinemax's blessing, the producers shopped ''Gangs of London'' to other outlets, eventually landing at Creator/{{AMC}}'s brand-new streaming network [=AMC+=] as its first exclusive original. |
| 289 | * A majority of the 2010s Disney Junior shows that aired on the Disney Junior block on Disney Channel ended up moving to the Disney Junior channel. To put it in perspective, out of the 15-20 shows that had premieres on the block, only 4 shows did almost their entire runs on there (Those four are ''WesternAnimation/JakeAndTheNeverlandPirates'', ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'', ''WesternAnimation/PuppyDogPals'', and '' WesternAnimation/{{TOTS}}''). |
| 290 | * After Creator/WarnerMedia wound down Creator/{{Cinemax}}'s original programming lineup, its new corporate sibling Creator/HBOMax took over production duties on a third season of the network's final original series, ''Series/{{Warrior|2019}}''. |
| 291 | * ''WesternAnimation/CloseEnough'' was originally developed for Creator/{{TBS}}, but ultimately aired on Creator/HBOMax. It is later set to air on TBS as well. |
| 292 | * ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'' was originally a TBS original, before shifting to Creator/AdultSwim for its second season. |
| 293 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple'' was originally a Nickelodeon production. Quibi announced a revival in 2019, but it didn't get anywhere after the casting call. Creator/TheCW then picked it up and started airing new episodes in October 2021. |
| 294 | * ''Series/ScreamTheTVSeries'' moved from MTV to [=VH1=] for its third season. |
| 295 | * ''Series/TheShannaraChronicles'' moved from MTV to Spike for its second season. |
| 296 | * ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'' moved from Cartoon Network to Netflix from the third season onwards. |
| 297 | * ''Series/TheHitchhiker'' from HBO to USA. |
| 298 | * The short-lived ''[[Website/TheOnion Onion]] Sports Network'' started out as a feature on ESPN's ''Series/SportsCenter'' before jumping to Creator/ComedyCentral. |
| 299 | * ''Series/{{Slasher}}'' went from Chiller to Netflix for its second and third seasons, then Shudder for its fourth season. |
| 300 | * ''Series/TheKilling'' went from AMC to Netflix for its final season. |
| 301 | * ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' originally premiered new episodes in the United States on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} for only a single season in 2015. The series moved new episodes over to Creator/{{Netflix}} for seasons 2 and 3 from 2016 to 2018, with those seasons also getting their first television airings on the syndicated Creator/KidsClick block beginning in 2017. When [=KidsClick=] ended its run in March 2019, the series moved reruns to Creator/DisneyChannel, who has always been the primary home to the series internationally, and new episodes of the series were also moved over there the following year. |
| 302 | ** Season 4 (the first season to premiere in the United States on Disney Channel) was added to Creator/DisneyPlus instead of Netflix when it was ready to be added to a streaming service. Disney+ also will begin streaming seasons 1-3 when Zag's contract with Netflix expires in 2022. |
| 303 | * ''Series/{{Pennyworth}}'' was moved from Epix (now Creator/MGMPlus) to Creator/HBOMax for its third season with the addition of a subtitle, ''The Origin of Batman's Butler''. |
| 304 | * ''[[{{Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling}} AEW]] Wednesday Night Dynamite'' moved from Creator/{{TNT}} to Creator/{{TBS}} starting on Jan. 4, 2022. |
| 305 | * Following the closure of NBCSN on Dec. 31, 2021, all of its surviving programming was moved to either Creator/{{NBC}} proper, Creator/USANetwork, CNBC, or Creator/{{Peacock}}. |
| 306 | * Various programs that used to air on HBO Family were later reaired on Qubo. These included ''The Adventures of Paddington Bear'', the ''{{Literature/Babar}}'' TV series, ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeAndMartha'', and ''WesternAnimation/ISpy''. |
| 307 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheCountryMouseandCityMouseAdventures'', also formerly airing on HBO Family, later moved to the syndicated [[Creator/CookieJarEntertainment Cookie Jar Toons]] cartoon block, and then on the now-defunct Light TV network. |
| 308 | [[/folder]] |
| 309 | |
| 310 | [[folder:From ITV to...]] |
| 311 | * ''Series/AufWiedersehenPet'' went from ITV (in the 1980s) to the BBC (the 2000s revival). |
| 312 | * Not a true Channel Hop, but ''Series/RandallAndHopkirkDeceased'', a 1960s ITV show, was remade in 2000 as ''Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)'' by the BBC. |
| 313 | * The Broadcast Rights of ''Batfink'', ''Dangermouse'', ''Pinky and the Brain'', ''Rugrats'', ''Scooby-Doo'', ''Taz Mania'', ''Tom and Jerry Kids'', ''Tots TV'', ''Uncle Max'' and ''Yoko! Tokamoto! Toto'' since 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010 have moved from ITV to the BBC. |
| 314 | ** Similarly ''University Challenge'' is an ITV show that (after moving to [[Creator/{{Channel4}} Channel 4]] for a while) was revived on the BBC (all versions produced by the ITV company Granada. Granada's production department is now [2014] part of ITV Studios, so the VanityPlate reads "ITV Studios production for BBC"). |
| 315 | * ''Series/MenBehavingBadly'' first appeared on ITV, but was dropped by them after two series due to disappointing ratings, Harry Enfield having left after the first series and its production company, Thames, having lost its London weekday franchise. It wasn't until the BBC got it and transmitted it in a later slot that it became a massive hit. |
| 316 | * RonnieBarker's ''Hark at Barker'' on ITV had a more-or-less direct sequel, ''His Lordship Entertains'', on the BBC, featuring the same cast. Unfortunately ''[[MissingEpisode His Lordship Entertains]]'' [[MissingEpisode was wiped]] (though the scripts have appeared in a book by Barker). |
| 317 | * ''Series/HillStreetBlues'' and ''Series/ScarecrowAndMrsKing'' were let go by ITV, but picked up by Channel 4. |
| 318 | * As Channel 4 didn't exist in the 1960s, ''Series/WagonTrain'' moved to BBC tv[[note]]the lower case is intentional.[[/note]] |
| 319 | * ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs'' was originally an ITV show that is now receiving a modern BBC sequel (ironically, as a [[DuellingWorks Duelling Show]] with ITV's ''Series/DowntonAbbey''). |
| 320 | * ''Blockbusters'' moved from ITV to Sky One, to BBC 2, back to Sky, and is now on Challenge. |
| 321 | * ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' aired its' first thirteen episodes on Creator/{{CITV}}, then aired 66 new episodes on Creator/NickJr's [=UK=] channel four years later. |
| 322 | * In its original run on British TV, ''Series/MissionImpossible'' went from ITV to [=BBC1=]. |
| 323 | * ''Series/SesameStreet'' was originally broadcast in the UK on ITV (from 1971, although it was over a decade before all regions were showing it). It then moved to Channel 4 when that channel opened in 1987 and ran there until 2001. There were then two co-productions broadcast on Creator/CBeebies: ''Sesame Tree'' (2008-2010, originally shown on BBC 2 Northern Ireland) and ''Series/TheFurchesterHotel'' (2015-date). Meanwhile, from 2015 actual ''Sesame Street'' is finally appearing again on Cartoonito. |
| 324 | * The UK version of ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' went from ITV to Sky One, then back to ITV. The host changed on each hop, from Leslie Crowther on the first ITV run, to Bob Warman on the Sky One run, to Bruce Forsyth on the second ITV run. |
| 325 | * ''[[Series/SurvivorUK Survivor]]'' aired on ITV from 2001 to 2002, before being picked up for another shot by the BBC in 2023. |
| 326 | * The 1990s sitcom ''Series/IsItLegal'' moved from [=ITV=] to Channel 4 for its third and final series. |
| 327 | [[/folder]] |
| 328 | |
| 329 | [[folder:From The BBC to...]] |
| 330 | * In the UK, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' moved from [=BBC1=] to [=BBC2=] to Channel 4. |
| 331 | * BBC Two's ''Series/RedDwarf'' was put on hold during DevelopmentHell of TheMovie but eventually -- after a surprise ratings success of reruns on the channel Dave -- in 2009 the channel aired a three-part Easter Special ''Back to Earth''. A new six-part series, ''Red Dwarf X'', began airing on Dave on 4 October 2012, followed by ''Red Dwarf XI'' in 2016 (although on a commercial channel, the new episodes are the same length as the BBC episodes and shown in 40-minute slots.). |
| 332 | * ''Series/TheGoodies'' was dropped by the BBC in 1981 and was picked up by London Weekend Television (now ITV London), but dropped after only one season. |
| 333 | * UsefulNotes/FormulaOne had always been on the BBC until it was sold to ITV until it went back onto the BBC and was in turn sold to Sky Sports. Technically they are currently split between the two, but the terrestrial rights moved to Channel 4. |
| 334 | ** On the other side of the pond, after being on SPEED Channel for many years, F1's moved to the NBC Sports Network. |
| 335 | * Long-running school drama series ''Series/WaterlooRoad'' moved from [=BBC One=] to [=BBC Three=] in early 2015 for the final 10 episodes of its final series. The show was a huge hit for [=BBC One=] in its heyday (2006-2011) until the show moved to Scotland in 2012. Ratings began to dip since the move and it was announced that Series 10 would be its last. |
| 336 | * ''Series/TheVoice'' swapped from the BBC to ITV in 2017. In 2015, ITV bought Talpa, the format's production company, and simply sold the show to itself. |
| 337 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpotTheDog'' went from Creator/TheBBC's Creator/CBeebies to ITV's CITV. |
| 338 | * The first four seasons of ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'' aired on [=BBC4=]; the rest of the series moved to Dave. |
| 339 | * ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' went from Creator/TheBBC's Creator/CBeebies to Tiny Pop. |
| 340 | * Both ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' moved from [=BBC3=] (when [=BBC3=] became an internet-only channel, losing the rights to imported shows[[note]]In 2020 the channel acquired ''Series/KatyKeene'' and ''Series/TheFosters'' spinoff ''Good Trouble'', although ''The Fosters'' wouldn't be shown in the UK until Creator/{{Star|DisneyPlus}} was launched. In 2021 the channel acquired ''[[Series/PrettyLittleLiars Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists]]'' after Netflix removed the parent series, which the channel acquired.[[/note]]) to [=ITV2=] (the former's second UK ChannelHop, as it used to be on Channel 4.. .and in 2021 The Griffins had a ''third'' UK ChannelHop, to Creator/StarDisneyPlus). |
| 341 | * ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' aired on BBC Four before moving to the more mainstream BBC Two for its fourth and final season. |
| 342 | * Similarly, ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' season 2 moved from BBC Three (with a BBC Two repeat) to just being shown on BBC Two. ''Children of Earth'' and ''Miracle Day'' were on BBC One. Because ''Miracle Day'' was a co-production with Creator/{{Starz}}, the US broadcast went to that network rather than BBC America. |
| 343 | * Creator/{{CBBC}} is a rather unusual variant in that it didn't so much hop channels as ''become'' a channel, with the children's programming bloc and a bunch of Edutainment Shows that are broadcast mainly so teachers can record them to screen in class being moved from BBC 1 and 2 to a dedicated channel all of their own some time after the digital switchover. |
| 344 | * ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'' ''[[{{Pun}} flew over]]'' to ITV when the BBC dropped it after they ran the first season... and David Cassidy's music career took off with [[AmericansHateTingle The British Hate Tingle]] being decidedly averted. |
| 345 | * ''Series/BirdsOfAFeather'' ran from 1989-1998 on BBC 1, ending with a ChristmasEpisode that doubled as a GrandFinale. It was surprisingly revived by ITV in 2014, running for another three seasons up to 2016, plus a Christmas Episode in 2017. |
| 346 | * ''Series/OnlyConnect'' is another show that moved around the BBC, with Victoria Coren-Mitchell claiming in her humorous introductions to find BBC Two a shock after the rarified atmosphere of BBC Four. |
| 347 | * ''Series/TheLastKingdom'' moved from BBC Two to Netflix from the third series onwards. |
| 348 | * ''WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep'' moved from Creator/{{CBBC}} to Netflix for its sixth series. |
| 349 | * Series/BlanketyBlank originally aired on BBC 1 from 1979 to 1990, was revived by ITV which aired it from 1997 to 2002, only to end up back on BBC 1 in another revival from 2020 to present. |
| 350 | * ''Series/LittleHouseOnThePrairie'' moved to ITV after the first season. |
| 351 | * ''Series/TopGear'', ''Series/TheGreatBritishBakeOff'', ''Series/TheApprentice'', and ''Series/DragonsDen'' all have made the move from BBC Two to BBC One. |
| 352 | * Quiz show ''Series/{{Eggheads}}'' was originally shown on BBC One, before moving to BBC Two in 2005. In 2022, it moved from BBC Two to Channel 5. |
| 353 | * ''Series/TheTroubleWithYouLilian'': The radio series was transmitted on [[Creator/TheBBC BBC Radio 4]], but the TV series was aired on Creator/{{ITV}}1. |

| 356 | [[folder:From Syndication to...]] |
| 357 | * Wrestling/{{WW|E}}F Superstars (distributed in Canada as Maple Leaf Wrestling, also the name of a Toronto-based promotion purchased by the WWF in 1984) was on in syndication for about a decade before it hopped over to Sunday morning on the Creator/USANetwork to replace Action Zone. It would hope one again five years later when WWF moved all their programs to Viacom channels and it landed on TNN for about a year before it was canceled. The show later had a {{revival}} on yet another network, WGNAmerica, where it stayed for 2 years but its contract was not renewed; until its end in 2016 it was aired only in overseas markets and was streamed online in the US. |
| 358 | * ''Series/BabylonFive'' did four seasons in syndication before TNT ponied up the ''caysh'' for a fifth season ''plus ALL those TV movies (including the ReCut PilotMovie''. It later made it to Sci Fi, which is the channel responsible for the first ''widescreen'' presentation (which eventually made it the format used on the DVD's. |
| 359 | * Oddly, ''Series/BeakmansWorld'' from UsefulNotes/{{syndication}} to CBS. |
| 360 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollz}}'' and the ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' both went from syndication to CBS (though this had to do with CBS's block renter [=DiC=] needing [[AnAesop educational]] programming for said block). |
| 361 | * In the United States, the first season of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' premiered in syndication in September 1998, then was picked up by Creator/KidsWB in January 1999 with episodes premiering on the network the following month. Despite this, reruns would continue airing in syndication in most areas until September 1999. |
| 362 | * In the United States, ''Anime/SailorMoon'' started out in syndication in 1995, but only the first 65 episodes were shown before the show went into re-runs and was ultimately pulled. It was then picked up for cable by Turner Broadcasting and spent a few months being re-shown on Creator/USANetwork before it was moved to Creator/CartoonNetwork's ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' action block where it found new life and premiered 94 new episodes, and 3 movies. |
| 363 | ** Also, a few early (and non-consecutive) S episodes were shown on Creator/TheWB's Creator/{{Toonami}} block before they were pulled after 9/11 (although this was supposedly a coincidence). |
| 364 | * In the United States, The original ''Manga/DragonBall'' series was in syndication for only 13 episodes in 1995 before it was canceled. It was eventually picked up by ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' in 2001 ([[DuelingDubs with an all-new English dub]]), due to the success of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', where it ended up finishing its 153 episode run. |
| 365 | ** Likewise in the United States, ''Dragon Ball Z'' itself began in weekly syndication in 1996 before Creator/CartoonNetwork famously picked it up and added it to its Toonami block in 1998, where it finished and was in reruns for almost ten years. In addition, Creator/TheWB's Saturday morning Toonami block premiered the Garlic Jr. Saga episodes in the Summer of 2000 before they were rerun in Cartoon Network. |
| 366 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' from syndication to ABC; {{ReTool}}ed as ''[[NewSeasonNewName Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles]]''. But [[FanonDiscontinuity the fans like to think]] ''[[FanonDiscontinuity The Goliath Chronicles]]'' [[FanonDiscontinuity never happened]]. [[CanonDiscontinuity So does the creator, who declared it non-canon.]] |
| 367 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' (1987 version): went from syndication to CBS in 1990. |
| 368 | * ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' had a brief run on CBS in 1992 after runs in syndication and Nickelodeon. |
| 369 | * ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenace'' had two new seasons on CBS after its first season aired in syndication. |
| 370 | * The ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' cartoons are an interesting case. The first adaptation, ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' aired in syndication and the two subsequent series, ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'' and ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' aired on NBC as part of ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster''. |
| 371 | * ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'' had an interesting example: it was syndicated ''and'' shown on ABC's Creator/OneSaturdayMorning at the same time! |
| 372 | * Possibly the first instance of this trope, ''WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw'' premiered in syndication in 1959 before becoming part of CBS's Saturday morning lineup in 1963. |
| 373 | * ''Series/MisterEd'' spent its first half-year in syndication before Creator/{{CBS}} picked up the series. |
| 374 | * The 2003 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' started out by being syndicated out to Creator/TheCW, before the first three seasons found a home in CBS on its Kewlopolis block. Then came the 4-way lawsuit between Creator/{{DiC}}, Creator/MoonScoop, Creator/AmericanGreetings and Creator/CookieJar, which left the show in a horrible limbo for a couple of years before all four seasons were finally picked up by Creator/{{Kabillion}}. |
| 375 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'', the first animated series based on the ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' toyline premiered in syndication in 1986. Next came ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales'' which aired on Creator/DisneyChannel in 1992. It would be another [[SequelGap eighteen years]] before a new animated series based on ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' would air on television, this one being ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' on Creator/TheHub Network (later rebranded as Discovery Family). |
| 376 | * The entire ''Franchise/CareBears'' franchise has aired across multiple networks in the US. ''WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s'' started out at [[Creator/{{DiC}} DIC]] as a syndicated series, until Creator/{{ABC}} picked it up and brought Creator/{{Nelvana}} on board to produce it. The subsequent series, ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAdventuresInCareALot'', also started out being on CBS' Kewlopolis slot before being moved to Kabillion. ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot'' then jumped to Creator/TheHub alongside Hasbro's acquisition of the toy rights for the franchise, where the franchise promptly got mistreated, and then rescued by Creator/{{Netflix}}, who commissioned a sequel series, ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsAndCousins'', but then gave up on the series in 2018, and subsequently the series hopped to Hulu. |
| 377 | ** The franchise's most recent incarnation, ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsUnlockTheMagic'', first aired in the United States on Creator/{{Boomerang}}, who has always been the primary home to the series internationally, only for its parent channel Creator/CartoonNetwork to move new episodes over to their own schedule as part of the new U.S. version of Creator/{{Cartoonito}} (due to the series getting subpar ratings as a result of Boomerang not being available on many cable providers). Boomerang still airs reruns for the time being, however. |
| 378 | * The sports-themed quiz game ''Sports Challenge'' started in syndication in 1971, went to CBS in the summer of 1973 Sunday afternoons, then went back to syndication. |
| 379 | * ''Series/StarSearch'' from syndication to CBS. |

| 382 | [[folder:From a Streaming Service to...]] |
| 383 | * In the late 2010s and early 2020s, an explosion of new streaming services led to shows being pulled from Creator/{{Netflix}}, Creator/{{Hulu}}, and Creator/PrimeVideo and moved to first party services created or owned by the producers of said programming: |
| 384 | ** ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'', the prior show's [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsMovie movie]], the franchise's saga movies, and a host of Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies, among other Disney-owned media, were pulled from the service to debut on the House of Mouse's own streamer, Creator/DisneyPlus, in late 2019. (Though only ''The Clone Wars'' series and movie had been available on the service in the US on a long-term basis, due to Netflix having aired the show's sixth season.) |
| 385 | *** Following Creator/MarvelStudios' contract with Netflix expiring on Feb. 28, 2022, all of the Netflix Original Series[[note]]''Series/Daredevil2015'', ''Series/JessicaJones2015'', ''Series/LukeCage2016'', ''Series/IronFist2017'', ''Series/TheDefenders2017'', and ''Series/ThePunisher2017''[[/note]] [[{{MyFriendsAndZoidberg}} and]] ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' were all FINALLY added to Creator/DisneyPlus on March 16th of that year. The MoralGuardians didn't like the [[{{UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications}} TV-MA]] content being added to the "Child-friendly" Disney+ library.[[note]]Outside the US it wasn't that big a deal due to international versions of Disney+ already hosting more adult-oriented content through the Star hub.[[/note]] |
| 386 | ** ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' left Netflix for [=NBCUniversal=]'s own in-house streaming service, Creator/{{Peacock}}, in a deal that was negotiated for $100 million and became available to all Peacock subscribers starting January 1st, 2021. |
| 387 | ** ''Series/{{Friends}}'', ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', and [[{{Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse}} the DCAU shows]] (to name just a few notable examples) moved to Creator/HBOMax upon that service's launch in 2020. |
| 388 | ** All of the older ''Franchise/StarTrek'' shows and movies have been moved from Netflix and Prime Video to Creator/ParamountPlus as of July of 2022. |
| 389 | ** The US streaming rights for ''Series/HawaiiFive0'' and ''Series/BlueBloods'' moved from Netflix to what is now Paramount+ in 2019. Hulu still has the first nine seasons of the latter, but Seasons 10-13 are only on Paramount+. |
| 390 | ** In response to some of the above moves, Netflix acquired global rights to ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' in 2020; the series left Hulu in May 2021 and arrived on Netflix in October. |
| 391 | * The new series of ''Series/DoctorWho'' has jumped from one streaming service to the next in the US (while still airing regularly on BBC America). It was first available on Creator/{{Netflix}}, then it moved to Creator/AmazonPrime in 2016, then the new series jumped to Creator/HBOMax in 2019. It is slated to leave HBO Max for Creator/DisneyPlus at some point in 2023. The classic series, meanwhile, found a home on niche streaming service [=BritBox=] and also has a Creator/PlutoTV channel. |
| 392 | * ''Series/OneDayAtATime2017'' became the first cancelled Netflix Original to move to a cable network after its cancellation in 2019, when it was rescued by CBS subsidiary Creator/PopTV. (It would later be cancelled again there after one season.) |
| 393 | * ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot'' went from Netflix to Hulu in 2018. This is especially embarrassing given Netflix’s pledge when they rescued the show from Creator/TheHub [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwing]] the franchise over. |
| 394 | * ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie'''s Season 1 aired on Netflix, but Netflix cancelled it shortly after. Nearly a year later, Creator/AdultSwim picked it up for a second season. The show became the first cancelled adult animated series from Netflix to move to a cable network. Streaming rights to seasons 2 and beyond are held by Creator/HBOMax. |
| 395 | * The Creator/DCUniverse originals were moved to Creator/HBOMax when DC Universe was relegated to featuring digital comics: |
| 396 | ** Season 2 of ''Series/{{Doom Patrol|2019}}'' was simultaneously streamed on HBO Max and DC Universe. Season 3 onwards will stream exclusively on HBO Max. |
| 397 | ** ''WesternAnimation/{{Harley Quinn|2019}}'' (season 3 onwards) |
| 398 | ** ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'' (season 3 onwards) |
| 399 | ** ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' (season 4 onwards) |
| 400 | * ''Series/{{Stargirl|2020}}'' moved from the Creator/DCUniverse to The CW for its second season. The CW had previously secured the rights for season 1, airing the episodes one day after each new ones debuted on the streaming service, but from the sophomore season onwards, the show will air on The CW from the get-go. Streaming availability shifted to HBO Max following DC Universe's demise. |
| 401 | * ''Series/CobraKai'' moved from Platform/YouTube Originals to Creator/{{Netflix}} from the 3rd season onwards, due to the former platform's lack of success. |
| 402 | * ''WesternAnimation/ArchibaldsNextBigThing'' had its first 2 seasons come out on Netflix. Starting in season 3, the show moved to Creator/{{Peacock}}. |
| 403 | * The entirety of the output of the short-lived mobile-centric streaming service Quibi (excluding news programs that aged out of relevancy) was sold to Roku following the service's demise. Roku rebranded the content (some of which had not been released on Quibi at the time of its shuttering) as "Roku Originals" and began releasing the shows on the Roku Channel in May 2021. |
| 404 | * ''WebVideo/ComediansInCarsGettingCoffee'' moved from Creator/{{Crackle}} to Netflix from the tenth season onwards. |
| 405 | * ''The Girls on the Bus'', a series adaptation of the memoirs of a journalist chronicling UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton's two presidential campaigns, was dropped by Creator/{{Netflix}} midway into development and subsequently picked up by Creator/TheCW before ultimately ending up on Creator/{{Max}}. |
| 406 | * ''Series/DontLookDeeper'': Originally part of the Quibi streaming service, it was purchased with the rest of Quibi's works by Roku after that company folded. It's available as a Roku Original now. |
| 407 | * ''Series/HemlockGrove'': Originally one of the first Creator/{{Netflix}} originals, Netflix later removed the show from their service in 2022 (about seven years after it finished it's final season). The rights were quickly picked up by the company Film Rise, and through them the first season can be streamed on Hoopla and the entire show on Creator/{{Tubi}} (but only in Canada). |
| 408 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy'' was cancelled by Paramount+ midway through post production on its second season, and the first season was unceremoniously removed from the service as well. Four months later, Netflix picked up the show for season 2 and gained the streaming rights to season 1. |
| 409 | * ''Series/{{Girls5eva}}'' moved to Netflix after airing its first two seasons on Creator/{{Peacock}}. |
| 410 | [[/folder]] |
| 411 | |
| 412 | [[folder:Other (Sorted by Country)]] |
| 413 | [[AC: Australia]] |
| 414 | * ''Series/KathAndKim'' (the Australian one) from [[Creator/AustralianBroadcastingCorporation The ABC]] to the Creator/SevenNetwork. |
| 415 | * ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' from the Creator/SevenNetwork (for one season) to Creator/NetworkTen. In January 2011 it then switched from Ten to its secondary channel Eleven (now 10 Peach). |
| 416 | * ''Rove'' moved after its first year from the Creator/NineNetwork to Creator/NetworkTen. |
| 417 | * ''Series/ThankGodYoureHere'' moved from Channels Ten to Seven. |
| 418 | * In Australia, ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' didn't just hop between channels (from Creator/NetworkTen and Cartoon Network to Boomerang), they also hopped dubs for season 4 (necessitated by 4Kids not having the rights to dub that season). After Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} acquired the show and started producing its own episodes, it moved once more to Australia's Nick feed. |
| 419 | * ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' aired on The ABC for its' first few seasons, and then moved to the local feed of Creator/PBSKids |
| 420 | * ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' first aired on Australian TV from April 1994 on Channel 9, in 1997/98 it moved to Channel 10, airing seasons 1 to 4. In 2000, it moved back to Channel 9 airing seasons 5 and 6 and later Seasons 7 to 8 and beyond. |
| 421 | * ''Series/ACountryPractice'' finished a 12 year run on Channel 7 in 1993, it was then snapped up by Channel 10(after the final episode was filmed)for a less than successful one year run in 1994. As well as a channel hop, it had a production base hop, moving from Sydney to Melbourne. |
| 422 | |
| 423 | |
| 424 | [[AC: Brazil]] |
| 425 | * Brazilian sitcom ''Sai de Baixo'' ran for six years in Rede Globo. In 2013 it got a four-episode revival on its cable subsidiary Canal Viva, where one of the characters even [[MediumAwareness lampshaded]]: "We couldn't get a break for five seasons in broadcast prime time! What makes you think that in paid TV will be any different?" |
| 426 | |
| 427 | [[AC: Canada]] |
| 428 | * In Canada, some U.S. late-night talk shows tended to do this. There was ''some'' stability for a time; ''Series/TheTonightShow'' and ''Series/LateNight'' typically aired on CTV Two (dating back to its time as A-Channel and The New XX), and ''Series/LateShow'' and ''Series/TheLateLateShow'' aired on Omni in Toronto (except for Kilborn's run, which aired on Global, as well as Craig Ferguson for a period before moving back). The 2014-15 re-alignments of NBC and CBS's late-night lineups caused some changes; ''Late Night with Seth Meyers'' moved to Creator/{{CTV}} (sandwiched between ''Series/TheDailyShow'' and ''Series/{{Conan}}''), ''The Late Late Show with James Corden'' was picked up by CTV Two, and ''The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'' is on Global. In February 2016, Corden was promoted to CTV amid its viral success, and ''Late Night'' moved back to CTV Two. |
| 429 | ** Out of all of them, ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' can't seem to stay in one place, having been on CH, [[Creator/{{Citytv}} Citytv]], Bite TV, Creator/TheComedyNetwork, CMT ([[NetworkDecay/TotalAbandonment We can explain that one]]), and most recently back to Citytv. |
| 430 | * ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'' started out on CTV, but later moved to Citytv. The ''Champions'' spin-off in 2019 aired on CTV 2 instead, but it is unknown if they simply passed for some other reason, or it was because it would conflict with their acquisition of CBS's rival, ''The World's Best''. |
| 431 | * In Canada, the revived ''Series/DoctorWho'' initially aired on the Creator/{{CBC}}, as did its spin-off, ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' (the CBC also contributed funding to the revival series for a time). After Series 4 of ''Doctor Who'' and Series 1 of ''Torchwood'', both shows moved to the cable network Space (though the CBC's cable spin-off, Bold, continued to air reruns for a time). |
| 432 | * The fifth series of ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' was set to be the last after the show was cancelled by Citytv, but Creator/{{CBC}} since picked up the rights and the show continues in production. |
| 433 | * A weird example happened with ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' in Canada: the show aired on TV Ontario and CBC at the same time. |
| 434 | * ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' moved from [=Citytv=] to the now-defunct CH/ Creator/{{E}} network to Global. |
| 435 | * ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' has hopped a few times in Canada, starting on CH (dating back to when CHCH had branded itself as [=ONtv=]). When CH turned into Creator/{{E}}, it moved to Sun TV. When Sun TV got turned into the ultimately unsuccessful Sun News Network, it moved to Omni and was then promoted to Omni's parent network Citytv, where it has remained since (alongside ''Series/LetsMakeADeal''). |
| 436 | * ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'' began on CHCH, who cancelled it two seasons in, though the show was quickly picked up by CFPL (London) and Creator/{{YTV}} (for national distribution) for a third season. The show then moved to Creator/GlobalTelevisionNetwork in the fourth season and eventually to Creator/{{CBC}} starting in the seventh season. |
| 437 | * ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'' moved from Creator/GlobalTelevisionNetwork to Creator/{{CTV}}, where it has remained ever since. |
| 438 | * ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' and ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' have also been shuffled around a lot in Canada; for a time it was split ''between'' CTV and A-Channel. In 2008 (by then the two networks had become sisters due to the CTV[=/=]CHUM merger), both shows moved to CBC (but ''Wheel'' was shunned to the afternoon to put larger prominence on the one that happens to be [[Creator/AlexTrebek hosted by a Canadian]], and because ''Series/CoronationStreet'' is the network's traditional 7:00 p.m program). A few seasons later, CBC unceremoniously dropped both. CHCH (Hamilton/Toronto) and CHEK (Vancouver Island) would acquire ''Wheel'' and ''Jeopardy'' in 2012 (they were former sisters before Canwest divested them to Channel Zero and a local group respectively, but they've still had some ties and common programming). The two shows were then acquired by Yes TV (a rebranding of the religious Crossroads Television System) in 2014; however, this only led to a channel hop in Toronto, as the system syndicates its acquisitions to other independents in markets where it doesn't have a station, which includes CHEK (this move also restored the two programs to Alberta). |
| 439 | * ''Series/TrailerParkBoys'' ran for seven seasons on Showcase, then revived by Netflix in 2014 for an additional five seasons. |
| 440 | * Starting in the early 2010s, several shows that originally aired on Teletoon started airing reruns on YTV, usually airing during the daytime hours on weekdays while kids are in school or late night timeslots. These include ''WesternAnimation/{{Wayside}}, ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}, and ''WesternAnimation/{{Braceface}}'', among others. |
| 441 | * Fox's "Animatiion Domination" lineup (''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', and other Sunday night Fox cartoons) orignally started out in Canada on Global until 2015, when they moved to City. City continued airing them until 2021, then dropped them to focus on them premiering on Disney+ in Canada, only for the shows to return to the channel in the fall of 2023. Then in 2024 they started airing on CHCH. |
| 442 | [[AC: China]] |
| 443 | * Chinese animated series ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' has jumped from channel to channel quite a bit, with Creator/{{CCTV}}-14 and Hunan TV's Aniworld being among the channels which have aired it. |
| 444 | * ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' has also jumped channels often, having aired on Creator/{{CCTV}}-14, Aniworld, and ZJTV, among others. |
| 445 | |
| 446 | [[AC: France]] |
| 447 | * ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' moved from France 3 (for the first 2 seasons) to Canal+ Family (seasons 3 and 4) to Gulli (seasons 5-7). Gulli also broadcasts seasons 3 (remastered) and 4. |
| 448 | |
| 449 | [[AC: Israel]] |
| 450 | * Israeli children television host [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tal_Mosseri Tal Mosseri]] left [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arutz_HaYeladim Arutz haYeladim]] after his 18 years tenure there (the longest a host has been there, ever) for the Israeli Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} (though some speculate he was actually let go as part of the channel’s attempts at renewal and rebranding). Naturally, many Israelis, who grew up watching him on Arutz haYeladim, were shocked by the news, but wished him good luck; soon, however, people started calling him a traitor for this at every turn. At first he was very alarmed and hired protection before he realized it was a RunningGag and even started joining in on it, e.g. uploading a photo of himself next to [[Film/TheForceAwakens a Stormtrooper]], with the caption, "[[https://www.facebook.com/Mosserital/photos/a.105101956187528.9186.104779009553156/1047590698605311/?type=3 I’m just here for the comments...]]" |
| 451 | |
| 452 | [[AC:Italy]] |
| 453 | * In Italy, it's almost a trend for certain cartoons to hop from one channel to another, back and forth, with each channel promoting it as [[BlatantLies a brand new show never seen before]]. Some examples: |
| 454 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' initially aired on Boing, but later on, it was moved on Super! TV (a channel that mostly airs Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} shows). It later moved on POP in late 2017, but after that channel died it was moved on Cartoonito until early 2020 when Super! TV got it back. |
| 455 | ** ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness'' was first aired on Rai Gulp, but at a certain point, it was moved to Super! TV. After a while, it came back on Rai Gulp. |
| 456 | ** ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' originally aired on Rai Gulp... for a single week, then it was dropped until a year later when it was taken by K2. |
| 457 | ** For a long period, Season 1 of ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'' aired on Cartoonito, while the later seasons aired on K2. In 2018, K2 got the rights for Season 1 too. |
| 458 | ** The ''Series/MrBean'' cartoon aired for years on K2, but in 2015 it was moved on Boing, where they also aired the second season. |
| 459 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' aired on Cartoonito since its launch in 2011, but in 2019 it was suddenly moved on Frisbee. |
| 460 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' originally aired on Italia 1, and later it was moved on Boing. In 2012 Super! TV got the rights to air the later seasons, with the older ones still being aired on Boing for a while until Super! TV got the rights for those too. In 2017, POP came by and got the rights for the first four seasons, which were aired in the exact same timeframe Super! TV aired seasons 5-6. By late 2018, the show vanished completely from both channels and came back on air only in 2021 on Cartoonito. |
| 461 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ShimmerAndShine'' moved from Cartoonito to Super! TV in late 2019. |
| 462 | ** ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' aired on Italia 1 until the first ''Diamond and Pearl'' season, with Boing airing reruns. After that, the show was entirely moved on both Disney XD and K2 and, outside of a brief stint in 2018 when POP aired a rerun of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesBlackAndWhite'', stayed there until 2023. The show then hopped back on Boing starting with ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries'', while ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesSunAndMoon'' got a rerun on Cartoon Network. |
| 463 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' had a very messy story in Italy. |
| 464 | ** The first two seasons of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' aired on Italia 1, with Season 3 being moved on Canale 5. |
| 465 | ** The series came back on Italia 1 from ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' to ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy''. |
| 466 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'' and ''Series/PowerRangersTimeForce'' aired on Fox Kids, alongside reruns of ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' and ''Lost Galaxy''. |
| 467 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' and ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'' were once again on Italia 1, but they were later rerun on Fox Kids (which by then became Jetix, with its free TV counterpart getting the name K2), which also aired ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder''. |
| 468 | ** From ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' to ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'', the series moved on Rai 2. |
| 469 | ** The franchise came back on Italia 1 for ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'', but was interrupted before the last 3 episodes. The franchise was then moved on Boing for the last episodes of ''Samurai'' and everything from ''Super Samurai'' to ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'', while K2 aired reruns of ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' and ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'', plus the until then skipped ''Series/PowerRangersRPM''. |
| 470 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'' was aired on POP, alongside reruns of ''Operation Overdrive'', ''Jungle Fury'' and ''RPM''. |
| 471 | ** As POP closed in 2019, the franchise came back on Boing for ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'' and ''Series/PowerRangersDinoFury''. |
| 472 | * ''Series/BigTimeRush'' aired on Rai Gulp until 2016, then it was moved on Super! TV. |
| 473 | * The Italian version of ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' was aired on Italia 1 in 2001. In 2003, the reality hopped on Rai 2, where it was {{retool}}ed into ''L'isola dei famosi'' ("The island of famous people"), which had the same premise but used only celebrities for its cast. The show was cancelled in 2012, only to come back in 2015 on Canale 5, where it's still aired nowadays. |
| 474 | |
| 475 | [[AC: Japan]] |
| 476 | * Only episodes 2-3, 7-15 and 18 of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' premiered on TV Tokyo (along with a special) in early 1998 due to the show's excessive violence for its timeslot; the remaining episodes would premiere as part of a full run of the series on pay-TV outlet Wowow from later that year to early in 1999. |
| 477 | * ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' ended the ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' franchise's longtime home at Fuji TV, moving over to Creator/TVAsahi. This may have been justified in how ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' was occupying its traditional timeslot on Fuji TV. The franchise moved again for ''Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters'', this time on Creator/TVTokyo, and then came back on Fuji TV for ''Anime/DigimonAdventure2020''. |
| 478 | * Most ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series aired in native Japan on Creator/TVAsahi until ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX''. ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' was aired on Fuji TV instead. From ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' onwards, the main Gundam series aired on Creator/TokyoBroadcastingSystem and/or Mainichi Broadcasting System. The TV edition of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'', named ''Mobile Suit Gundam UC RE:0096'' aired on TV Asahi though. |
| 479 | ** Its Gunpla-based spin-off series also has seen a shift in homes. ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'', ''Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry'', and ''Anime/GundamBuildDivers'' all aired on TV Tokyo, as well as the SD Gundam titles ''Anime/SDGundamForce'' and ''BB Senshi Sangokuden: Brave Battle Warriors''. ''Anime/GundamBuildDiversReRise'', however, moved to [=YouTube=] via official Gundam channels. It will also air on Tokyo MX, beginning on January 28, 2020. |
| 480 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' recently got this trope, years after the TV Tokyo airing of the first 2 seasons. The series now airs on the Disney-owned [=Dlife=] channel and later on to Disney Channel Japan, making a jump from terrestrial TV to Pay TV in Japan. It's unknown if the Disney Japanese broadcasts are new versions or the EditedForSyndication one the former did. |
| 481 | * ''Anime/{{Stitch}}'': The first season aired on Creator/TVTokyo but later moved to Creator/TVAsahi for the next two seasons, but it's not known why. |
| 482 | * The ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' had aired on Tokyo Broadcasting System since its inception in 1966, but since 2009, TV Tokyo broadcasts new entries in the franchise. |
| 483 | * ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'' was originally streamed worldwide on the Platform/NicoNicoDouga service. Just before the final episodes were taken off the website, the remastered versions of the episodes from the Blu-ray release were picked up by Tokyo MX. |
| 484 | * ''Series/MidnightDiner'' had a three-season run on MBS, a sister station of TBS. It was then revived by Netflix for two more seasons. |
| 485 | |
| 486 | [[AC: Malaysia]] |
| 487 | * ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'': The show has practically been shown on every single network in Malaysia except 8TV (which has almost no children's programming anyway since it was relaunched, its former incarnation as [=MetroVision=] did air children's programming) throughout its entire run in Malaysia, and then some (Astro's Ceria, and then Playhouse Disney, before finally settling down in Creator/HITEntertainment's own channel, [=JimJam=]--which is only available over cable provider ABN). |
| 488 | * ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' went from [=RTM1=] for the pre-2005 revamp episodes to [=NTV7=] for the post-2005 revamp episodes. Unlike the Pokemon and Winx Club examples, this one is this trope played straight as RTM and Media Prima are competitors (RTM is government-run while Media Prima is a private conglomerate). |
| 489 | ** Recently few years ago, ''Doraemon'' and ''Manga/{{CrayonShinChan}}'' get taken off from [=NTV7=] forever. However in mid-2019, the 1979 anime adaption of ''Doraemon'' used to be air on Astro Ceria for a while, before returning with the Malay dub of 2005 anime series much later. |
| 490 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' was originally aired on [=NTV7=] in Malaysia with Malay subtitles. By the time of ''Master Quest'' (season 5) the show moved to tv9 and was now dubbed. Slightly subverted is that both channels are owned by the same parent company (Media Prima). |
| 491 | * In Malaysia, ''Sesame Street'' went from being a long-runner on [=RTM-TV1=] in the 80s to [=RTM-TV2=] in the 90s, before disappearing off Malaysian terrestrial to appear as part of the ''Hallmark Kids'' block on Hallmark Channel Asia. When that channel's partnership got [[ScrewedByTheNetwork royally screwed by NBC-Universal]] however, the show went into limbo for three years before resurfacing on Playhouse Disney Asia, and going on to become a long runner that still aired after the transition to Disney Junior Asia, at the time where other PBS shows on the channel that Disney rescued from Hallmark Channel Asia got the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork pink slip]]. |
| 492 | * In Malaysia, ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' moved from Creator/TV3 to [=NTV7=]. Like the Pokemon example above, slightly subverted is that both channels are owned by the same parent company (Media Prima owns [=TV3, NTV7, 8TV, and TV9=]). |
| 493 | * ''Franchise/YoKaiWatch'' aired on Toonami Asia and the Southeast Asian feed of Cartoon Network before the former's shutdown in 2018. A few years later, in 2020, Astro Ceria aired it. |

| 496 | * Averted with Mexican public TV: all the programs created and broadcast (including foreign-made series and movies) in the two only Mexican networks (Televisa and TV Azteca) belong to ''those'' networks and ''those'' networks only. Those programs cannot be switched over to the rival network (especially network-created shows like soap operas, TV shows, etc), but there are a few exceptions to the rule: |
| 497 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' was originally broadcasted by Imevision (TV Azteca's predecessor), but since Imevision was privatized by the government and become TV Azteca later, they lost the Mexican broadcasting rights of the show and Televisa bought the show later. |
| 498 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' was originally intended to be broadcasted by Televisa, but after one single episode, the owners cancelled the broadcasting due to its subversive content and TV Azteca bought the series from them. |
| 499 | ** In 1998, all the Creator/{{Disney}} catalog (movies, series, etc) went from Televisa (who was Disney's client for decades) to TV Azteca. |
| 500 | ** In recent years, it no longer seems to be the case for animated series and children's shows, for example: ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder'' premiered and aired on Televisa for years, but in 2008 TV Azteca signed a deal with HIT Entertainment that allowed both series to move to Azteca. The deal also gave Azteca the rights to ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'', but after the deal with HIT expired in 2012, that series was acquired by Televisa. Likewise ''Series/LazyTown'' premiered on Televisa but it was cancelled almost immediately, and later acquired and aired by Azteca. |
| 501 | *** Smaller and local Mexico City channel Cadenatres has acquired several classic sitcoms and anime series formerly aired on Televisa/Azteca since their rights were eventually lost, among them ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'', ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie'', ''Series/TheNanny'', ''Series/TheMunsters'', ''Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps'' and ''Manga/CandyCandy''. In a strange subversion, the ''Literature/StuartLittle'' animated series premiered on Cadenatres and years later resurfaced on Televisa. The channel became a nationwide network in 2016 and changed its name to Imagen Televisión, picking up reruns of series seen on Televisa for decades such as ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''. |
| 502 | *** ''Manga/SaintSeiya'', who was broadcasted in TV Azteca from years since the earlier 90s, switched to Televisa in 2017, just to return again at 2022. |
| 503 | *** The ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise, which was broadcasted in Televisa since 1995, switched to TV Azteca at 2022. This is especially relevant, since ''Dragon Ball'' has been one of Televisa's main non-Mexican multimedia franchises they had shown in Mexico since 27 years. |
| 504 | |
| 505 | [[AC: Netherlands]] |
| 506 | * ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'' has made several channel hops in both the Netherlands and Belgium. Initially, the series aired on ''The Box'' in the Netherlands and ''Ketnet'' in Belgium, but it moved to ''Creator/{{MTV}}'' at the start of season 8 (The Netherlands and Belgium both receive [=MTV=], so the hop was simultaneous). After a run of several seasons on [=MTV=], the show moved to ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'', where it ran for several seasons on the "[=TeenNick=]" block, until "[=TeenNick=]" was scrapped to make room for the Dutch / Belgian version of ''[=SpikeTV=]''. The series has, sadly, been left hanging ever since. |
| 507 | * ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' moved from syndication in the Netherlands to their Nicktoons (the channel) branch, however subtitled now instead of dubbed. |
| 508 | * After 20 seasons on the same channel, ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' made several channel hops throughout the last few years. The first hop (starting from ''Sun & Moon: Ultra Adventures'') saw the series move from ''Disney XD'' [[note]] which had inherited it from predecessors ''Jetix'' and ''Fox Kids''[[/note]] to ''B.O.Z.'' (the children's block of ''RTL 7''). The second hop (starting from ''Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries'') moved the series from ''B.O.Z.'' to ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'' only a few years later, after the cancelation of ''B.O.Z.'' by its parent network. Ironically enough, ''B.O.Z.'' and ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'' only bought part of the rights to the series (mainly the rights to the newest seasons and the movies), leaving ''Disney XD'' open to run repeats of the older seasons (predominantly ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY'' and, recently, ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl''). To say that this makes watching ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' complicated would be an understatement. |
| 509 | * The seasons of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' have hopped channel regularly in the Netherlands as well, moving between ''Fox Kids / Jetix / Disney XD'', ''Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'' and ''B.O.Z.'' (or related channels) quite often. At the moment, it's even a bit of a mystery which channel holds the rights to the latest seasons of the series, as it only seems to appear on Netflix. |
| 510 | |
| 511 | [[AC: New Zealand]] |
| 512 | * In New Zealand, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' began on [=TVNZ2=] in 1991 before moving to Three in 2004, [=FOUR=] (now Bravo New Zealand) in 2011 before moving back to [=TVNZ2=] in 2016. |
| 513 | * ''Series/HomeAndAway'' in New Zealand has channel-hopped ''four times''. It first premiered on Creator/TV3 when the channel launched in November 1989. It moved to TVNZ in 1993, initially on TV One then on [=TV2=]. In 2002, it moved back to [=TV3=], and then in 2013, it moved back to [=TV2=]! |
| 514 | ** The same goes with Neighbours. They started on [=TVNZ2=] in 1988 despite episodes being a few years behind Australia so it aired back to back. Then it aired on Creator/TV4 in 1997 before it was removed in 2001. By 2002, Neighbours returned to [=TVNZ2=]. As of today, it is still on the network for so long. |
| 515 | * Thomas and Friends began on [=Three=] before an American version called ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'' aired on [=TVNZ2=]. It aired on [=TVNZ1=] until 1996, moved back to [=Three=] in 1997, moved to [=FOUR=] (now Bravo New Zealand) in 2011 before moving back again to [=TVNZ2=], this time as its own show in 2016 |
| 516 | * ''Series/CriminalMinds'' debut on [=TVNZ2=] in 2005 before moving to [=TVNZ1=] in 2006 (making it the most popular show on [=TVNZ1=]) |
| 517 | * New Zealand's Got Talent debuted on [=Prime=] in 2008 before moving to [=TVNZ1=] in 2012 |
| 518 | * New Zealand's version of Sale of the Century debuted on [=TVNZ2=] in 1989 before moving to [=TVNZ1=] a couple of months later. [=Three=] later revived the series in 1994 after [=TVNZ1=] axed it in 1993. SOTC was finally cancelled in early 1995 due to competition with the news on TVNZ1 as well as the Current Affairs series[=Holmes=]. |
| 519 | * Brooklyn Nine-Nine had a really bad time when it debuted on TVNZ2 in 2014. The show is now in a better place on TVNZ Duke. |
| 520 | * Some of FOUR's adult animated series including WesternAnimation/SouthPark and WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy moved to TVNZ Duke in 2016 prior to the closure of FOUR. |
| 521 | |
| 522 | [[AC: Philippines]] |
| 523 | * 1979 and 2005 anime adaptions of Manga/{{Doraemon}} originally aired on GMA in 1999 before the 2005 anime series moved to Yey, a kid-friendly channel affiliated with Creator/{{ABSCBN}}. With the channel's closure in 2020, it is unknown if Doraemon would return to Philippine television someday. That changed in 2021 as [=A2Z=] Channel 11 was given the rights to bring back Doraemon on air. |
| 524 | * [[LongRunners Long-running]] variety show ''Series/EatBulaga'' initially debuted on RPN-9 in 1979, and aired on said network for ten years before handing over the franchise rights to Creator/{{ABSCBN}} in 1989. ABS-CBN infamously attempted to acquire the broadcast rights to the show, to which ''Bulaga'''s producers declined. This led to ''Bulaga'' and its cast moving to Creator/GMANetwork, which was then heavily promoted with the catchphrase "9-2=7, Totoo ang [=Sie7e=]" ("Nine minus two equals seven, Seven is really true"), both alluding to the move from Channel 9 (RPN) to Channel 2 (ABS-CBN) and finally to Channel 7, and also as a possible TakeThat to ABS' attempted takeover of the series. |
| 525 | * Due to Creator/{{ABSCBN}}'s NetworkDeath in 2020, its in-house programming did end up with this trope, airing online and on other networks, going to Kapamilya Channel, [=A2Z=] Channel 11 (A joint channel in partnership with Zoe TV) and even on [=TV5=]. The other shows that were acquired however, end up abandoned, though that slowly changes with Doraemon being an aforementioned example. |
| 526 | * The local version of ''Series/PopIdol'' has bounced around, initially on [=ABC=] as ''Philippine Idol'' in 2006, and then on GMA in 2008 as ''Pinoy Idol'', and then to ABS-CBN in 2018 as ''Idol Philippines''. |
| 527 | * In 2023, ''Eat Bulaga'' producer TAPE underwent a change in management, which would replace its CEO, cut its employees' salaries, and replace popular ''Eat Bulaga'' cast members and segments in an effort to relaunch the show. On May 31, 2023, the show's original hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (hereafter TVJ), as well as a number of other long-time cast members, resigned and left the company. TVJ proceeded to file copyright and trademark complaints against TAPE and GMA Network, seeking to cancel TAPE's trademark on the ''Eat Bulaga'' title. TVJ asserted copyright interests over their creative contributions to the show -- with one sticking point being that Joey de Leon had originally coined the title, and the trio implicating that the result of TAPE's ExecutiveMeddling was pretty much ''Eat Bulaga'' InNameOnly. They also made accusations of unfair competition, as GMA had aired reruns of prior episodes involving TVJ during a brief suspension after the resignation. In June 2023, TVJ reached an agreement with Creator/{{TV5}} for a stake in their new production company; on July 1, following the expiration of its agreement to simulcast the ABS-CBN-produced rival ''Series/ItsShowtime'' (leading it to channel hop to GMA's sister network GTV), [=TV5=] premiered ''[[WritingAroundTrademarks E.A.T...]]'', which was basically a CreatorDrivenSuccessor to ''Eat Bulaga!'' with most of the cast members who left TAPE (the "Legit Dabarkads"). The title was a reference to ''Eat Bulaga'' having been stylized in its logo as ''Eat... Bulaga!'' during its first 25 years on-air, while the hosts referred to E.A.T. as an [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]] for things such as "Eto Ang Title" ("[[CaptainObvious This is the title]]") and "Eto Ang Tunay" ("[[TakeThat This is real]]"). In January 2024, GMA and TAPE lost the rights to ''Eat Bulaga'' and its associated intellectual property to TVJ, and ''E.A.T...'' was renamed to ''Eat... Bulaga!'' Meanwhile, the TAPE-produced ''Eat Bulaga!'' on GMA was retitled ''Tahanang Pinakamasaya'', but would be cancelled due to low viewership a few months later. And as a result of ''that'', ''It's Showtime!'' began to also be simulcast on GMA proper beginning April 6, 2024. |
| 528 | |
| 529 | [[AC: Russia]] |
| 530 | * WesternAnimation/SouthPark had a short stint on REN TV, where it didn't work out, then MTV Russia picked it up for a more successful run, later splitting the coverage with 2x2 (both had the same owner), and gradually moving it to 2x2 outright. Out of nowhere cable channel Paramount Comedy (at the time fully owned by Viacom, but now they have only 20% share due to Russian laws) got the rights, and in an interesting variation of Main/DuelingDubs, ordered a new dub with the same voices and almost the same script (allegedly because Viacom wasn't thrilled with quality of decade-old MTV tapes). Nowadays both 2x2 and Paramount Comedy are airing the series, with Paramount getting premier runs. |
| 531 | * Similarly enough with WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons - from REN TV to 2x2, then cable channel FOX got simultaneous rights and ordered a completely different dub. Once again, both FOX and 2x2 runs it now, but strangely this time 2x2 usually have premieres, and FOX is lagging behind. You'd think having a parent company around would make you a preferrable outlet. |
| 532 | * WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}, WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy - from REN TV to 2x2. WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill - one season on Creator/TV3 -> 2x2. Yeah, pretty much every piece of adult animation that's been on some channel would end on 2x2, because they were positioned as the adult animation channel at the time. |
| 533 | * French production ''Jet Groove'' though, jumped from 2x2 to MUZ TV. |
| 534 | |
| 535 | [[AC: Spain]] |
| 536 | * ''Series/ElHormiguero'' moved to Antena 3 after five seasons on Cuatro. |
| 537 | * ''Series/MoneyHeist'' moved from Antena 3 to Netflix. |
| 538 | * ''Operación Triunfo'' aired its first three seasons (2001-03) on TVE, then had a five-season run on Telecinco (2005-11), then returned to TVE after a lengthy hiatus for three more seasons (2017-20). It returned yet again on 2023... on Creator/PrimeVideo. |
| 539 | * Game show ''Pasapalabra'' debuted on Antena 3 in 2000, moved to Telecinco in 2007, then returned to Antena 3 in 2020. |
| 540 | * ''Series/PaquitaSalas'' moved from Flooxer (a Spanish streaming service) to Netflix after its first season. |
| 541 | * ''Factor X'', the Spanish version of ''Series/TheXFactor'' aired its first two seasons on Cuatro between 2007 and 2008, then was revived by Telecinco in 2018. |
| 542 | * ''Humor Amarillo'', the Spanish GagDub of ''Series/TakeshisCastle'' had a first run on Telecinco between 1990 and 1995 and a second run on Cuatro between 2006 and 2007. In spite of being far shorter, the Cuatro stint is the most popular of the two. |
| 543 | * Comedy show ''Me resbala'' (based on the French format ''Vendredi tout est permis'' that was also adapted in the US as ''Riot'' and in Australia as ''Slide Show'') aired on Antena 3 from 2013 to 2021, then was revived by Telecinco in 2023. |
| 544 | * The Spanish version of ''Series/Survivor'' seemed to channel hop (and change its name) all the time in the mid-2000s. It was originally picked up by TVE, who pulled the plug on ''Los Robinsones'' at the last moment, then was UnCancelled by Telecinco in 2000, who retitled it ''Supervivientes: Expedición Robinson''. In 2003 it made its way to Antena 3, retitled ''La isla de los famoS.O.S.''[[note]]then ''La selva de los famoS.O.S.'' the next year, and then finally ''Aventura en África'' in 2005[[/note]]. For 2006 it swapped back to Telecinco with its name during that era. |
| 545 | |
| 546 | [[AC: Turkey]] |
| 547 | * ''Series/{{Ezel}}'' was transferred to channel atv after being dropped by Show TV midway through its first season. |
| 548 | * ''Series/MagnificentCentury'' hopped from Show TV to Star TV between its first and second seasons. |
| 549 | ** ''Series/MagnificentCenturyKosem'' likewise moved from Star TV to FOX for its second season. |
| 550 | |
| 551 | [[AC: United Kingdom]] |
| 552 | * Unlike many imported series dropped by Channel 5 -- and there are ''many'': ''Series/ThirtyRock'', ''Series/{{JAG}}''[[note]](but not the spinoffs, which have AdoredByTheNetwork status)[[/note]], ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'', ''Series/OnceUponATime'' and so on (basically any American series that isn't a law enforcement show or doesn't have ''CSI'' in the title) -- ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' found another terrestrial home for its final season, moving to Channel 4 (repeats of the earlier seasons have since aired on sister channel E4 - which has also shown ''Series/Charmed2018''). |
| 553 | * ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'' and ''Series/TheBoldAndTheBeautiful'' both jumped from Creator/Channel5 to cable channels -- ''Series/SunsetBeach'' notwithstanding, American daytime soaps (unlike [[Series/{{Dallas}} their]] [[Series/Dynasty1981 nighttime]] [[Series/DesperateHousewives counterparts]]) have never had much success in Britain. |
| 554 | * Both ''Series/HannahMontana'' and ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' moved from Channel 5 to ITV, while ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' went in the other direction, following after Viacom's acquisition of Channel 5. |
| 555 | * In the UK, both ''Series/HotInCleveland'' and ''Series/DropDeadDiva'' moved from Creator/{{Sky}} Living to Sony Entertainment Television. |
| 556 | * ''Series/AgentsOfShield'' took their battle with Hydra from Creator/Channel4 to [=E4=] from season three.[[note]]The series was dropped by the channel after season six.[[/note]] |
| 557 | * ''Series/BigBrother'' (UK) went from Creator/Channel4 (who felt the series had been taken as far as it could) to Creator/Channel5 (who arguably proved them right). It then moved to [=ITV2=] for the 2023 revival, although [=ITV1=] hosted the launch show. |
| 558 | * British fans of ''Series/BreakingBad'' had to put up with the show being dropped by ''two'' broadcasters (FX and [[Creator/Channel5 FiveUSA]]); like ''Pretty Little Liars'' below and ''Once Upon a Time'' above, the later seasons premiered on Netflix UK (as did ''Series/BetterCallSaul''). Fast forward to 2015, and ''Breaking Bad'' was picked up as a launch show for the new British version of Creator/SpikeTV (which is operated by Creator/Channel5, now owned by Viacom), which will broadcast every episode. |
| 559 | * British fans of ''Series/{{Community}}'', which began on Viva at the same time as ''Pretty Little Liars'' and was also dropped, had to wait until April 2012 for the ''second'' season to begin on Sony Entertainment Television (given that the series is a co-production of Sony and Universal it was that or the now-defunct Universal Channel, and the Universal Channel doesn't show comedies). The channel has also shown every season since then, including the sixth (which is lucky for UK fans, as Yahoo! Screen wasn't available in Britain). |
| 560 | * The final series of ''WesternAnimation/CountDuckula'' aired after Creator/ThamesTelevision had lost their Creator/{{ITV}} franchise in 1993, so Central presented the ITV broadcast of that season on behalf of Thames, now an independent production company. |
| 561 | * This trope was averted in a situation involving ''Dallas'' in the UK. When the BBC announced it would not pay a raised licencing fee to carry new episodes beginning in Autumn 1985, Thames Television, ITV's London service, announced that they were willing to pay the asking price. Thus ''Dallas'' was snatched by Thames, which violated a "gentleman's agreement" between BBC and ITV which prevented situations like this. Betrayed, BBC pulled the remaining ''Dallas'' episodes it had the rights to and announced that they would air them simultaneously with Thames' broadcasts. Ultimately, the negative publicity caused Thames to back out and ''Dallas'' remained on the BBC. Curiously, ITV didn't acquire its [[Series/Dynasty1981 competition]], letting the BBC have ''both'' series. (Times have changed since then, as British fans of series like ''Series/TwentyFour'' and ''Series/{{Glee}}'' can testify.) |
| 562 | * ''Series/{{Empire}}'' moved from [=E4=] to [=5Star=] from season four. |
| 563 | * The first season of ''Series/GhostWhisperer'' was on E4, but from season two it was shown on Living (a better fit, given that Living is known for running ghost-themed shows like ''Most Haunted''). |
| 564 | * ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' made its British debut on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, but only the first three seasons were shown (and were prone to being censored); it later moved to the Hallmark Channel (where seasons four and five premiered) and ultimately to Channel 4 (which has shown all seven seasons). |
| 565 | * ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'' went from [=E4=] to Creator/{{Netflix}} from season three. |
| 566 | * Although Creator/DavidLetterman has a cult following in Britain, ''Late Show With David Letterman'' has run on four different channels -- Creator/{{Sky}} One, [[Creator/ComedyCentral Paramount Comedy Channel]], [[Creator/{{ITV}} ITV4]] and Diva TV - and never lasted longer than a year on any of them. (If you count [[Creator/TheBBC BBC2]] running the episodes for the week the show was in London -- his only appearance on British terrestrial television -- he's been on five.) |
| 567 | * ''Series/MastersOfSex'', meanwhile, aired on Creator/Channel4 in its first season but moved to [=More4=] come its second. |
| 568 | * From season five ''Series/TheMiddle'' changed its UK home from Sky to Creator/ComedyCentral. |
| 569 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' was first shown in Britain on Boomerang, but only the first season - presumably because it didn't quite fit in among its lineup; the series moved to Tiny Pop (and its sister channels Pop and [=PopGirl=]) in 2013. |
| 570 | * ''Series/{{Nashville}}'', on the other hand, moved from [=More4=] to its sister channel [=E4=] from ''its'' third season... and then it followed ''Series/{{Scandal}}'' onto Sky Living from season four onwards. |
| 571 | * ''Series/NewGirl'' began its UK run on Creator/Channel4 but moved to [=E4=] from season two. |
| 572 | * ''Series/OnceUponATime'', dropped by Channel 5 after the first two seasons, was eventually taken by Netflix UK in 2015, with said first two seasons and every episode thereafter on the streaming service. |
| 573 | * In the UK and Ireland, ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' was initially aired on Sky One up to around the Johto era, before their version of Cartoon Network picked up new episodes of the show. Later, reruns, new episodes, and the movies could be found on the Creator/{{CITV}} channel, as well as Pop after the UK version of Creator/DisneyXD dropped the anime following the end of ''XY''. The show then moved further to Creator/{{CBBC}}, though Pop still airs the show as well. The same thing happened in the US and Southeast Asia too, see "From The WB / The CW to..." above. |
| 574 | * ''Series/ThePractice'' was on ITV, the BBC and Sky One. |
| 575 | * ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'' moved from Viva to the sister channel {{Creator/MTV}} thanks to Viva beginning the series a few months after it launched on ABC Family (the series premiered in June 2010 in the US, and in October of the same year in Britain) and falling afoul of its long mid-season gap; by the time the series began again from the beginning on MTV in 2011, the first season was complete. But MTV dropped it after the first two seasons, leaving UK fans of Aria and Co. high and dry - until Netflix UK took it, with the entire series available from January 1st 2015 (each new episode arrives on the streaming service after its US premiere). |
| 576 | * Given that ''Series/{{Scandal}}'' didn't go down as well with [[Creator/Channel4 More4]] viewers as its stablemates ''Series/TheGoodWife'' and ''Series/{{Nashville}}'', from season three Olivia Pope moved to Sky Living. |
| 577 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' has been on {{Creator/Channel 4}} terrestrially since 2000 and used to be on Sky One on cable/satellite; ''both'' channels ended up dropping it and it moved to Creator/ComedyCentral (in the days when it was still called Paramount Comedy). |
| 578 | * The first four seasons of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' were shown in the UK on [[Creator/{{ITV}} ITV2]]; it then went to Sky Living for seasons five to eight, after which it was dropped. Eventually, [[Creator/Channel4 E4]] picked it up and screened season nine from January 2015 (a year behind North America) - by pure coincidence, the first episode of season nine is called "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here." |
| 579 | * In Britain, the first season of ''Series/ThisIsUs'' aired on Creator/Channel4, but the second season ran on its sister channel [=More4=]. The Pearsons moved to Creator/PrimeVideo. The service shares the series with Creator/DisneyPlus. |
| 580 | * In Britain, the first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' were shown on Channel 4, often in the early hours of the morning with little publicity. It moved to ITV from season 3 who aired at more respectable times of the morning with more publicity. |
| 581 | * The first two seasons of ''Series/VeronicaMars'' were on Living in the UK and Ireland, but the third season was on Trouble. The Hulu season aired on [=StarzPlay=](via Creator/PrimeVideo) in the UK. |
| 582 | * As part of the launch of Creator/{{AMC}} in the UK, the entire run of ''Series/{{Weeds}}'' was shown - including the final two seasons, which never ran on British television due to Sky dropping the series. |
| 583 | * ''Series/WhiteCollar'' moved from Creator/{{Sky}} Living to Alibi. |
| 584 | * ''Series/TheWestWing'' originally aired on Sky One, because Sky Atlantic not been invented yet, the Bartlet Administration moved to Channel 4 and flourished. |
| 585 | * ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' has had several homes in the UK: GMTV (ITV), Nickelodeon UK, and most recently Pop Girl. |
| 586 | ** Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s acquirement of the ''Winx'' property necessitated a ChannelHop in several countries where Winx wasn't already on a Nick channel, including the UK, where it moved from Pop Girl ''back'' to Nick. Now that Nick has sold the series off, it could potentionally hop again. |
| 587 | * ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' is rather complicated when it comes to its British broadcast history. It started off in the UK on [[Creator/{{ITV}} GMTV]] in April 1994, while the now-defunct [=TCC=] picked up the pay TV rights around the same time. When [=TCC=] kicked the bucket, the show moved to Living TV (now Sky Witness)'s Tiny Living programming block, lasting until its closure. Going back to terrestrial, it hopped from [=GMTV=] to Creator/Channel5 in 2002. When Tiny Living was discontinued, the pay TV rights hopped over to Cartoon Network Too, via its Cartoonito programming block. In 2007, Cartoonito became its own channel, with ''Barney'' moving over to the channel. |
| 588 | * In the United Kingdom, Wrestling/{{TNA}} Wrestling moved from Bravo to Challenge because Bravo got shut down by their new owners. |
| 589 | * Not just a Channel Hop, but a [[UsefulNotes/ThePond Country Hop]]: the first two series of ''Series/BlackMirror'' aired on the UK network Creator/Channel4, but after talk of a third series got bogged down in budget negotiations, the US-based streaming service Creator/{{Netflix}}, who already owned the American streaming rights to the show, picked up the tab for new episodes. It was the first time that a "regular" TV network was outbid by a streaming service for the rights to a show that it wanted to renew. |
| 590 | * ''Series/TopBoy'' similarly moved from Channel 4 to Netflix after its first two series. |
| 591 | * ''Series/{{Lovesick}}'' moved from Channel 4 to Netflix after its first series. |
| 592 | |
| 593 | [[AC: United States]] |
| 594 | * All of the shows on Creator/TheCW's first season hopped over from Creator/TheWB and Creator/{{UPN}}, except for ''Runaway'' and ''The Game''. Depending on the market, some shows may not have really hopped at all (if the former WB or UPN station landed a CW affiliation). And ''The Game'' has since hopped to BET. |
| 595 | * ''You Don't Say!'' (NBC), ''Seven Keys'' (ABC), and ''Beat The Odds'' (syndication) all began as local shows in Los Angeles before going national. |
| 596 | * In the mid-2000s, Creator/HiTEntertainment's programs on PBS switched station affiliations from Connecticut Public Television to WNET New York. |
| 597 | * In 1970, ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' both moved from National Educational Television to its successor, PBS. |
| 598 | * The original presenting stations for ''WesternAnimation/{{Castle|Documentary}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/CathedralDocumentary'' were WTVS in Detroit and WGBH in Boston, respectively. WHYY in Philadelphia picked them both up for a marathon rebroadcast of programs based on David Macaulay's books which followed the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/RomanCity''. |
| 599 | * For its fifth season, ''Fit 2 Stitch'' moved from National Educational Telecommunications Association to American Public Television, with KERA picking it up as the presenting station. |
| 600 | * At some point late in its run, as late as 1992, ''The Frugal Gourmet'' hopped from WTTW in Chicago to KQED in San Francisco. |
| 601 | * ''Series/HolmesOnHomes'' was the only show with a pulse on the US Discovery Home network. When Discovery decided to make that network Planet Green and mothball the entire Discovery Home lineup, HGTV quickly snapped up Holmes for their own channel; an easy call as HGTV '''UsefulNotes/{{Canada}}''' is actually the one that produces the show. It got a timeslot upgrade to Sunday evenings and continues to do just fine for HGTV, and [[TakeThat outlived Planet Green]], which became the American-centric Destination America on Memorial Day 2012. |
| 602 | * ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' from Creator/{{UPN}} to Creator/AdultSwim. |
| 603 | * ''Series/TheInvisibleMan'' had a rare deal where is aired both on the Sci-Fi Channel and in syndication ''the same week'' which persisted for both seasons it aired. Unfortunately when SFC pulled out, syndication alone wasn't enough to keep the show going. |
| 604 | * ''Jail'' from Creator/MyNetworkTV to Creator/SpikeTV. |
| 605 | * The show famously known as ''Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee'', and later as ''Live! with Kelly and Michael'' was originally a weekday morning news and lifestyle show on ABC flagship station WABC-TV in New York that Regis Philbin co-hosted and which debuted in 1983. Sister station WLS-TV in Chicago is where ''Series/TheOprahWinfreyShow'' debuted as a similar local show before it became a similar nationally syndicated talk show, debuting in 1984. |
| 606 | * ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' from independent KTMA in the UsefulNotes/TwinCities (now Creator/TheCW affiliate WUCW) to Creator/ComedyCentral to [[Creator/{{Syfy}} Sci-Fi Channel]] to Creator/{{Netflix}}. |
| 607 | * When ''Nightly Business Report'' moved from WPBT Miami to [=NBCUniversal=]... [[SubvertedTrope it stayed on PBS stations]], with American Public Television continuing to distribute. However, it did switch station affiliations from WPBT to Washington D.C.-based WETA some time later. Additionally, it was distributed by PBS itself from 2005 to 2011, when APT picked it back up after PBS dropped it. |
| 608 | ** Similarly, ''Series/OffBeatCinema'' from WKBW in [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkState Buffalo, New York]] to WBBZ and the Retro Television Network. |
| 609 | * ''Series/ThreeSheets'' started on HD channel MOJO HD before it closed. Fine Living Network picked it up for its fourth season, where it obtained AdoredByTheNetwork status until ''that'' channel was rebranded into Cooking Channel. The show then hopped to co-owned Travel Channel briefly, then to Creator/SpikeTV before its run ended in 2011. |
| 610 | * Subverted with ''Series/ThisOldHouse''. When it was acquired from [=WGBH=] by the spin-off magazine's publisher Time, Inc., it stayed on Creator/{{PBS}}, with [=WGBH=] still distributing the show to [=PBS=] member stations. The move also resulted in production relocating from Boston to Manhattan (and later to Stamford, Connecticut, the same city that ''Series/ThePeoplesCourt'' and the [=NBCUniversal=] conflict talk shows had production relocated to), though ''Ask This Old House'' is still made in the Boston area. In 2019, the show switched presenting stations from [=WGBH=] to Washington D.C. station [=WETA=]. |
| 611 | * Game show ''Down You Go'', which debuted on Creator/DuMont in 1951 and stayed there until the network cancelled most of its programs in 1955, survived one more year with a summer run on CBS in 1955, then a one-season run on ABC in 1955-56, finishing with another summer run on NBC in 1956, making it one of the few TV shows of the 1950s to air on all the then-available networks. |
| 612 | * After Creator/AAndE cancelled ''Series/LivePD'' in 2020, the show would move to Reelz Channel in 2022 under the name ''On Patrol: Live''. |
| 613 | * Another [=DuMont=] survivor was ''Life Is Worth Living'', the surprisingly popular religious program starring Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, which went to ABC in 1955 and stayed on until 1957. Sheen returned to TV twice, first with ''The Best of Bishop Sheen'' on the NTA Film Network in 1958-61, then in syndication with ''The Fulton Sheen Program'' in 1961-68. |
| 614 | |
| 615 | [[AC: Venezuela]] |
| 616 | * Venezuelan TalentShow ''Cuanto Vale El Show'' began in Venezolana de Television as a segment of ''Fantastico'' a variety show, then it hopped to RCTV, a full program, and then it landed in Venevision. All the versions of the show were produced and host by its creator, Guillermo González; he eventually got tired and left show business to fund his own network, just before Musical Realities like the ''X Got Talent'' series and the ''Idol'' series emerged in English-speaking countries. |
| 617 | |
| 618 | [[AC:Multinational]] |
| 619 | * ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' and ''Franchise/CareBears'' in Asia: Both went from Playhouse Disney Asia to Boomerang Asia, and then later to Cartoonito Asia thanks to [[ExecutiveMeddling Hasbro's meddling]] (which also caused the shows to become unavailable in a lot of parts of Asia) when Boomerang Asia was split into Toonami Asia and Cartoonito Asia. And then both went back to Boomerang Asia when Cartoonito Asia was retooled back to Boomerang Asia (Toonami Asia is still broadcasting separately in the region). |
