Syndication
The series ran in syndication from September 1993 to September 2000. During this time, Empty Nest aired on TBS from September 16 to December 6, 1996 and on WGN from September 16, 1996 to March 26, 1999, with both stations airing the series as part of the regular syndication run (both TBS and WGN were superstations). In the subsequent decade, the series did not air on American television. Hallmark Channel, which also owns the rights to The Golden Girls, picked up the rights to the show in early 2011 and aired it for several months before removing it again.
In Canada, the series was rerun by CBC during the 1990s.
