Liberty's gone, and apparently so is Degrassi's syndication run on CW Stations.

I was checking out CableTVTalk and Kyle posted a short, but disturbing message:

*************
Effective this Monday (January 18, 2010), most (if not all) stations will be replacing Degrassi with the CBC series Edgemont that aired on Encore WAM a few years ago in the USA. I’m still waiting for word if Program Partners discontinued distribution of Degrassi entirely or are still making it available in the other strip that some stations use.
*************

It might seem like sudden news, but upon doing some research I found an article written in December from Broadcasting & Cable about how the CW was picking up Edgemont for it’s E/I programming.  Of course it doesn’t mention anything about the fate of Degrassi, but I’m assuming they’re done with TNG.  It’s kinda weird though seeing as how in 2008 the CW renewed their deal and decided to syndicate Degrassi through 2011…I wonder what made them change their minds.

Am I upset by this? No, not really…my local CW (actually it airs on MyTV here) channel airs Degrassi during the weekdays at 7am.  Sorry Season 3…I love you, but I’m not getting up that early to watch you.  Plus if you’re one of those people who complain about TeenNick editing episodes?? The CW version of the episodes are virtually hacked to pieces…it’s almost a shame.
