CBS puts content from today and yesteryear on Sprint TV
Steve Safran March 23rd, 2007
If you have the Sprint TV offering on your Sprint Nextel mobile phone, you now have access to CBS content. Some interesting parts of the deal, according to B&C: in addition to the usual “clip length” offerings, this includes live “mobilecasts” of the CBS Evening News, full-length episodes of Jericho and stuff from shows of yesteryear - The Brady Bunch (which, as LR reader Barney notes in our comments, originally aired on ABC) and I Love Lucy. CBS will sell advertising in the form of pre-roll ads for the clips and longer spots for the full-length shows.

I may be wrong, but wasn’t the Brady Bunch first run on ABC?

Indeed. Then in 1988 “A Very Brady Christmas” was on CBS, as was the follow-up series “The Bradys”(1990.) Also of note, “The Brady Bunch Variety Hour” was on ABC (1976), and “The Brady Brides” was on NBC (1981). (Dates via Wikipedia, other sites.)
Now I don’t know if this makes the Bradys the first show to appear in some form or another on all three traditional original networks (not to mention have spinoffs on all three nets,) but it is a Brady wonder…
