      *Soon, BET viewers might be able to catch all five seasons of HBO’s “The Wire” in a new syndication deal reportedly on the table between the two cable channels.

      According to the Hollywood Reporter, both sides are keeping quiet about the negotiations, but sources say that BET wants to start airing one episode of “The Wire” per week in primetime as early as the first quarter of next year, with multiple runs for each installment.

      The deal’s price tag could not be determined, but "The Wire" would likely draw a sum in the range of $100,000 per episode, according to the trade.     

      The critically acclaimed series, about undercover police work in urban Baltimore and the local politics surrounding it, is currently in its fourth season, with HBO having recently ordered a fifth and final season. The reported syndication deal would allow BET to land all five seasons, which amounts to 62 episodes.

      The series would have to undergo major edits to make it broadcast-ready, as HBO’s “The Sopranos” and “Sex and the City” have undergone for A&E and TBS respectively. “The Wire” would mark BET’s second acquisition from HBO, following its re-broadcast of “The Corner.”
