USA Acquires Law & Order: SVU

USA Network will exclusively air off-network episodes of Law & Order:
Special Victims Unit starting in September 2003.

At that time, USA will strip the crime series -- which currently runs on NBC
-- on weeknights.

The network acquired the rights from sister company Studios USA and Wolf
Films.

USA will continue to run current-season episodes of Law & Order:
SVU Sunday nights, nine days after their premieres on NBC.
