New Simpsons channel in the works?
11:15 a.m. EDT, September 26, 2011

Ready for a channel devoted to nothing but "The Simpsons?"

Don't laugh, it is one idea News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Chase Carey threw out when speaking Tuesday at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media Communications & Entertainment Conference in Beverly Hills.

Noting that "The Simpsons" shows no sign of slowing down as it prepares to start its 23rd season on News Corp.'s Fox network, Carey said the company is starting to have internal discussions about how to create additional revenue streams for the animated hit that goes beyond reruns on TV stations and DVD sales.

Any effort at creating a platform just for "The Simpsons" may have to wait for the show to stop producing new episodes. Because the show is still in production after more than two decades, the rerun deals done years ago are still in effect. Once the show ends, so-called second cycle sales of repeat episodes can be sold. Although some shows might seem stale after 20 years, "The Simpsons" continues to be a solid performer.

Carey said there have been a "number of meetings" to determine how to capitalize on its library of episodes of "The Simpsons" and he mentioned a digital channel featuring nothing but Homer and the gang as being a possibility. Carey said it is incumbent on the company to take advantage of a show that is "unique in television with a volume too that is unprecedented."

Never post a good idea on the Internet. Ever.

Or always post them, it depends on what your goals are.

That seems unnecessary. There's rarely an hour in the day that i can't find a Simpsons rerun on some channel.

True story - I don't recall ever watching an episode of The Simpsons.

This used to be the case here, but not anymore. And too many times I catch reruns and it's an episode from the last few years.

That's how it used to be here, but I noticed awhile back that whatever channel I have that shows Simpsons reruns was showing episodes from the seasons 6-8 timeframe.

I used to watch in the 90's.

If they do this, I will have to get cable again.

Homicide is on centric

I'm going to assume that centric is a channel I've never gotten.

and I swear to god I didn't put that ad there.

AL

That couldn't have worked out better, really.

Goodnight internet; the rest of what I look at couldn't compare to what I just witnessed.

For some reason, the only re-runs of the Simpsons that seem to be on are post 2000 ones, which I really don't care for. Hell, I'd be ecstatic if they just focused on the episodes up to about 1995.

There were really great episodes for a few years after that. In my mind A Tale Of Two Springfields was the last really great one and that was 2000 I think.

That episode sucked!

The badger didn't get enough screen time.

This would almost certainly ensure I never watch the Simpsons again.
