Jeffrey Schlesinger, the president of Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Distribution, remarked: “There is great demand for these popular series from yesteryear that are being enjoyed both by fans who loved them during their original runs as well as new fans discovering them for the first time.”

Avi Himatsingani, the CEO of Rewind Networks, said: “We are super happy to welcome Warner Bros. as our studio partner. This new deal further strengthens our position as the curator of the best shows, from all the major Hollywood studios.”

Sandie Lee, the VP and channel head at Rewind Networks, added: “We are always seeking to delight our fans with award-winning, best shows of the last 30 years. Shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House and E.R. captured the hearts of many in the late ’80s all through to the ’90s—these shows can easily be enjoyed again today and we’re positive that they will win over a new generation of fans!”
