"Duck Dynasty" will NOT go homeless if A&E decides to pull the plug ... TMZ has learned, at least two other networks are salivating at the chance to pick up the popular reality show.
The owner of the popular Christian-affiliated Hunt Channel -- a guy named Merrill Sport -- tells TMZ, he'd pick up DD in a heart beat ... and would beam the show straight to its most loyal viewers: sportsmen and Christians.
He says, "We believe in the 2nd amendment and freedom of speech ... A&E needs to put on their big boy pants, and if they don't like the programming, they need to either let [DD] go or shut up and pay them."
Sports adds, "A&E is too scripted. [Hunt Channel] would let the personalities flow."
Rusty Faulk, CEO of the outdoorsy Pursuit Channel agrees, telling us Pursuit is 100% interested in grabbing DD if A&E takes a pass. Rusty adds, "We don't censor our personalities."
Even if DD comes to an end on A&E, we're told its contract with the family provides they couldn't do another show for a certain period of time.
The Robertsons should challenge that in court. If A&E ends the contract, that's not the Robertson's fault, and they should not be denied the opportunity to make a living from the show, simply because someone at A&E didn't want to make some homosexuals angry.
After November 2014, Lame Duck Dynasty.
It’s not personal if it is true
We need a CONSERVATIVE Cable network—something to the right of Fox. A place for Christians, Tea Party People, Patriots, and good American Values. I was hoping Glen Beck could pull it off but so far he hasn’t. I can only continue to pray!
“Even if DD comes to an end on A&E, we’re told its contract with the family provides they couldn’t do another show for a certain period of time.”.....
You’re probably right. Damn lawyers have to get their fingers into all the good ideas.
