MyNetwork TV is moving away from the network TV business reports Variety. Fox’s three-year-old broadcast unit announced that it will adopt what it calls a “programming service model” for next fall. The strategy will call for reduced original programming and will feature a two-hour offnet block of Law and Order: Criminal Intent and a movie night. The plan will also reduce MyNetwork’s programming commitment to 10 hours a week from 12 hours and leave its 180 affiliates responsible for programming Saturday nights. The broadcaster’s most popular offering, WWE Friday Night Smackdown, will remain unaffected. Fox will announce the entire MyNetwork fall slate shortly.
