ION Television Acquires "Cold Case" for 2012
Tuesday - December 13, 2011

ION Television has acquired all seven seasons (156 episodes) of the hit crime drama "Cold Case", in a deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
The series will join the ION Television lineup in Q1 2012, adding to the network's continued focus on building a strong foundation of high-quality syndicated series.
As part of the deal, ION is also extending and expanding its rights to the drama "Without a Trace", which has performed well for the network over the past season.
"Cold Case" is a procedural drama about Lilly Rush (Kathryn Morris), a dedicated female detective in the Philadelphia homicide squad, who finds her niche when she's assigned to "cold cases" -- crimes that have never been solved.
Previously, she used her instinctive understanding of the criminal mind on current murders. Now, she's interrogating witnesses whose lives and circumstances have since changed, making use of today's new science and finding fresh clues to solve cases that were previously unsolvable -- all of which appeals to this smart, driven detective.
Rush's team includes her respected mentor, Lt. John Stillman (John Finn); Det. Scotty Valens (Danny Pino), Rush's confident and strong-willed partner; Det. Will Jeffries (Thom Barry), who's been around long enough to serve as Rush's link to the past; Det. Nick Vera (Jeremy Ratchford), a tough cop who's considered the go-to guy for getting a confession; and, later, Kat Miller (Tracie Thoms), a new member of the team who is eager to prove her worthiness.
Rush sees her new assignment as a turning point in her career, when she decides to make it her business to make sure that no victim is ever forgotten.
"Cold Case" aired for seven seasons on the CBS Television Network, concluding in 2010.
Stay with us for exact airtimes and start date for "Cold Case" on ION Television, as we await the January schedule still (it is not necessarily starting in January, though).
