Statement by Dick Askin, president and CEO of Tribune Entertainment, regarding this morning's decision by Judge Allen G. Schwartz of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York regarding the new syndicated action hour program "MUTANT X":
"This morning (August 9, 2001), the U.S. District Court overwhelmingly ruled in our favor by denying Fox's claims seeking a preliminary injunction to halt production and use of the title for our eagerly awaited new action hour program 'MUTANT X' and dismissing all of the significant claims against Tribune Entertainment. We have always believed that there are no actionable similarities whatsoever between 'MUTANT X' and the motion picture 'X-Men,' and are pleased that Judge Schwartz agreed with us and rejected Fox's efforts to stop the show.
To date, we've produced seven episodes of 'MUTANT X' for its inaugural season, which will premiere the week of October 1st, and very much look forward to the long and successful run we anticipate this exciting program will enjoy."
