NBC goes elsewhere to air 'Coupling'

A last-minute deal has been reached with two television broadcast stations in Salt Lake City and South Bend, Indiana, to air NBC's new racy sitcom Coupling, which is based on the BBC series of the same name.

As Digital Spy reported on Tuesday, the NBC affiliate stations in those two cities - KSL-TV and WNDU-TV respectively - are refusing to air the show because it was deemed too racy.

However, viewers in those cities will get the choice of watching the show after NBC made arrangements with KUWB-TV, the WB affiliate in Salt Lake, and WSBT-TV, the UPN affiliate in South Bend, to air the show, according to AP reports.
