NBC Uni granted 'Runway' injunction

NBC Universal statement: "NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against The Weinstein Company. The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that The Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal's right of first refusal to future cycles of 'Project Runway.' After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting The Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spin-off to Lifetime."

Lifetime statement: "We are disappointed with the court’s decision to grant the preliminary injunction against The Weinstein Company.  It’s unfortunate that the people hurt most by this ongoing dispute are the loyal fans of 'Project Runway.' In the meantime, Lifetime will pursue all measures to uphold its valid and binding agreement reached with The Weinstein Company for season six of 'Project Runway.'" 

The Weinstein Company statement: "We are glad that the court held that NBC Universal cannot exhibit the program on Bravo and that court required NBC Universal to post a minimum $20 million bond. Obviously we will be appealing and remain committed to our partners."

Sixth season of "Runway" now less certain ... Lifetime version was already pushed to January ... The court documents contain some intriguing backstory about how things fell apart between the Weinsteins and NBC, which will be detailed in the full story here shortly.
