New York - The New York Post is reporting that TV show Project Runway will be moving to the Lifetime TV network next season.

“‘Project Runway’ is one of the best television programs on the air today on broadcast or cable. I am a huge fan. All my friends are huge fans,” Lifetime President and CEO Andrea Wong says in the release. “… We welcome The Weinstein Company, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn to the Lifetime family for many walks down the runway to come.”

The move is apparently because of a problem between the Weinstein Company (who produces the show) and Bravo TV (the network that used to air the show).

“NBC Universal has continuing legal rights related to ‘Project Runway,’ including a right of first refusal to future cycles of the series, which The Weinstein Company unfortunately has refused to honor,” NBCU says in a statement. “NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program.”

The Weinstein Co. has already begun pre-production of Runway’s fifth season for Bravo, which is scheduled to air in June.
