Judge keeps Lifetime from taking Project Runway from Bravo
Once upon a time, Lifetime's move to snatch the hit reality show Project Runway from Bravo looked like a bold move. But it looks like a judge may have squashed it all by granting an injunction to keep the show off its new home until the lawsuit over the move was resolved.
Here's Bravo owner NBC-Universal's triumphant release:
"NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against The Weinstein Company. The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that The Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal's right of first refusal to future cycles of Project Runway. After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting The Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spin-off to Lifetime."
