Lights Out for ‘Sports Night’

“Sports Night” is really, really, really dead. According to trade paper reports today, rumors of the acclaimed comedy series’ afterlife on cable were greatly exagerrated. Canned last month by ABC, the “Sportscenter”-esque “Sports Center” will not — as widely expected — be revived on HBO.

Daily Variety says talks between Touchstone Television (the studio behind the show) and HBO fell apart over (what else?) money.

While there are other networks out there other than HBO, creator Aaron Sorkin reportedly doesn’t want any others. “Sports Night” debuted on ABC in 1998.
