Jeff Zucker Keeps Harvey Weinstein From Moving Project Runway to Lifetime
For now
 

Says NBC Uni in a just-delivered statement: "NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against The Weinstein Company. The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that The Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal's right of first refusal to future cycles of Project Runway. After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting The Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spin-off to Lifetime."

This means: "The Weinstein Co. and Lifetime will not be able to promote, market or exhibit “Project Runaway” until further notice [...] As part of the Friday order, NBC Universal was told to put up a $20 million bond. The Weinstein Co. had asked New York State Supreme Court Judge Richard B. Lowe to set a $200 million bond, which it said was the value of its deal with Lifetime."

Update: And says The Weinstein Co. in a statement: "We are glad that the court held that NBC Universal cannot exhibit the program on Bravo and that court required NBC Universal to post a minimum $20 million bond. Obviously we will be appealing and remain committed to our Partners."
