There will be a little less Law & Order on NBC after this month.
“Law & Order: Criminal Intent” is leaving NBC to start transmitting its new episodes on the USA cable channel. Repeats of "CI" episodes first colorcast on USA will now subsequently air on NBC.
“Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” are both coming back to NBC this fall.
There was much speculation that the original "Law & Order" might migrate its new episodes this fall to TNT, which already pays big bucks for its repeats.

TNT already pays $1 million per episode for the show’s repeats. The show’s current budget is (somehow) $4 million per episode.
One wonders how this show would cut corners. Would they just cast hungrier actors as the cops and lawyers?
