Hallmark Channel is bulking up its acquired series lineup.

Four will arrive in September, including newly acquired off-nets of
Matlock, Little House on the Prairie and The Lone Ranger, as well as M*A*S*H, which Hallmark picked up from FX. Hallmark will
kick off with the M*A*S*H movie Sept. 1.

Hallmark is also adding JAG to its prime-time lineup in January
2005.

USA Network currently airs JAG in prime time, where it earns consistently
solid ratings, and it will keep rights for non-prime hours.
