American Idol Rewind

"American Idol Rewind" is a syndicated television series that premiered on September 30, 2006. The hour-long weekly series is a repurposed edition of the hit reality talent show "American Idol", featuring present day interviews with the contestants, semi-finalists and rejected auditioners in addition to extra audition, Hollywood Week, and finals footage never previously aired.

In August 2006, the series was cleared for broadcast on stations in over 96 percent of the United States. The program formerly aired nationally over cable channel Superstation WGN, as well as basic network channels FOX and The CW Television Network.

Starting in Fall 2008, "American Idol Rewind" will air on Fox and TV Guide Network. [ [http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6581427.html. TV Guide Network Ramps Up Red Carpet, Celebrity Coverage] Multichannel news (7/27/08). Retrieved 2008-7-29.]

Distributors

Until December 2007, "Rewind" was syndicated by Tribune Entertainment. On December 18, 2007, Tribune Entertainment announced it would exit the program distribution business. ( [http://www.tvweek.com/news/2007/12/tribune_entertainment_ends_dis.php] ) As a result, its programs were being forced to find new distributors for their shows. Almost immediately after the closedown, American Idol's producers, FremantleMedia, transferred syndication to another company, Trifecta Entertainment & Media.
