Off-UPN sitcom Moesha will head  to cable superstation WGN-TV in fall 2005.

WGN-TV has acquired a four-year, analog cable-exclusive syndicated run of the show (Noggin has digital cable rights). The sitcom is expected to air in early fringe (5-7 p.m.NYT) weekdays and in the afternoon on the weekend.

Moesha aired on UPN from 1996 through 2002 and in national broadcast syndication from 2002 to 2002, where it averaged a 1.1 rating in the second of its two-year run.
