After 25 seasons and 900 episodes, Cops will move from Fox to Spike TV in September 2013. The network will be the new home for the true crime series, with Spike TV announcing Cops will remain in its normal Saturday night at 8pm timeslot after its move.
President of Spike TV Kevin Kay made the announcement, stating: “Cops is a remarkable series that has been able to sustain strong ratings well into its third decade, a monumental achievement in television. As we continue to grow and expand our audience, new episodes of Cops, with its loyal audience of Adults 18-49, is the perfect addition to our primetime lineup on Saturday nights.”
“After 25 seasons with FOX, we are delighted to find our new home with the Spike family where we previously aired Undercover Stings,” added John Langley, President Langley Productions. “And we are doubly pleased that our Cops timeslot remains Saturday nights for our fans. It may be bold to say, but we are looking for yet another record-breaking run with Spike!”
Cops was created by Langley back in March 1989 and has, thus far, followed police officers in 140 different cities.
