'SOUTH PARK' Show to debut in syndication, mmmmkay?

The boys of "South Park" will be coming to a broadcast station near you -- 85 percent of you, anyway -- next year.
The boundary-breaking Comedy Central cartoon about potty-mouthed kids and their sleepy Colorado town will debut in syndication in fall 2005 in about 85 percent of the country, according to the Hollywood trade papers.
Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker struck a syndication deal last year with Debmar Studios, which sold the show in most of the nation's biggest markets.
Debmar recently entered a partnership with Tribune Entertainment (whose parent, Tribune Co., also owns Zap2it.com) to clear "South Park" in other areas.
"South Park" debuted on Comedy Central in August 1997 and is well past the 100-episode benchmark for syndication.
Local outlets controlled by a number of the largest station-group, owners, including Tribune, Sinclair, Viacom, Cox and Scripps-Howard, will carry the show.
There's no word on whether, or how, the profanity-laced show will have to be edited to conform to the tighter standards of broadcast TV.
