Line 30:
* ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' started on ABC in 1959 as ''Rocky and His Friends'', then moved to NBC in 1961 where it was retitled ''The Bullwinkle Show.'' It ran in prime time for two years and Saturday morning for one more. It then moved ''back'' to ABC in 1964 for eight years in reruns until it was syndicated and given the title it is now best known by. It was also syndicated in 30-minute components as ''Rocky and His Friends'' and in 15-minute components as ''The Rocky Show.''
* ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' (American) from ABC to ABC Family. Although all of its content was taped before the move, there were unaired episodes still in the can, as well as enough raw footage that the producers could create "new" shows several years after taping ended.
* ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' from [[ABC]] to [[Cartoon Network]], with 6 years or so between them. Apparently ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' was canceled solely because ABC was bought out by Disney, who wanted purely Disney owned programming, which Reboot did not fit. The third season was produced in syndication through the Canadian channelschannel [[YTV]] and the US didn't get that season until [[Cartoon Network]] picked it up two years later. Being [[Vindicated by Reruns]], that paved the way for a fourth season.
* ''The Hughleys'' moved from [[ABC]] to [[UPN]] in 2000.
* When ''[[Taxi]]'' was cancelled by ABC, NBC picked it up; it ran for one more season. They kept it at Thursday Nights at 9:00, and ran ads with Danny Devito saying "[[Take That|Same time, better station!]]"
