Paramount’s decision to air reruns of the biggest show on cable, “Yellowstone,” amid Hollywood’s double strike on broadcast TV this fall is already paying off.
The five-year-old “Yellowstone” rerun of the series premiere is the most-watched linear program of the week, according to the Samba TV Weekly Wrap Report for Sept. 11-17. This was the first time that the hit show, which normally airs on cable on the Paramount Network, aired on CBS.
