Bounce Picks Up Moesha & The Game

In a multiyear agreement with CBS Television Distribution, U.S. channel Bounce has landed the rights to all six seasons of Moesha and all nine seasons of The Game.

The shows will air back-to-back on weeknights between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. starting Monday, February 18. Both long-running series are NAACP Image Award winners.

Moesha stars R&B singer Brandy Norwood as the title character, a teenage girl who must relinquish her position as head of the household when her father’s new wife moves in. It originally aired on UPN from 1996 to 2001.

The Game, starring Tia Mowry as Melanie Barnett, follows the wives and girlfriends of professional football players as they learn to play the off-the-field game of egos, groupies and image consultants. The series, created by Mara Brock Akil (Being Mary Jane, Black Lightning), was a spin-off of the hit series Girlfriends and premiered on The CW in 2006 before moving to BET.
