Producer Bochco, Disney sign TV deal

(Posted September 26, 2005 by Leah Yoakum)

Veteran TV producer Steven Bochco, the man behind such shows as "NYPD Blue" and "Hill Street Blues," has cut a three-year production deal with Disney's Touchstone Television.

Bochco's most recent studio pact was a five-year deal signed with Paramount Network TV in July 1999. It yielded such short-lived shows as "Philly" and last season's "Blind Justice," both on ABC.

He is currently represented on the small screen by cable channel FX's Iraq war drama "Over There," which Bochco developed with 20th Century Fox TV.

Bochco, a 10-time Emmy winner who ranks among the most successful and prolific TV writer-producers of all time, brings a handful of existing development prospects to Touchstone via new deal, including two projects set up at Fox and one at the WB Network.
