It wasn't cheap, but MGM signed a $30-million, two year deal to broadcast the first 15 James Bond movies, all starring either Sean Connery or Roger Moore.

TNN pursued the deal and plans to air the movies through November to lead into the theater release of the newest Bond movie. Still untitled, the next installment of the Bond collection will star Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry.

The trade papers believe this is a great movie by the networks and studios. "Marathons of James Bond movies twice a year on TNN could harvest a bumper crop of viewers," on paper commented.
