NBC Universal announced today that it will begin airing Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise five days a week in syndication beginning fall 2010.

Reruns of the series will air weekdays on Ch. 4 and, in addition, on NBC-owned stations in LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Washington, Miami, San Diego and Hartford, Ct., as well as Hearst-owned stations in Tampa, Sacramento and Baltimore.

However, FreddyO is reporting that because the ladies are on a reality show, they are not considered actors. They are are not in the actors union and are, therefore, not entitled to syndication checks. They only get paid while taping. This means that no matter how long the repeated episodes, the ladies won’t make a dime. If this is true, we hope it all works out.

NEW MUSIC: Kandi Will “Fly Above”

AUDIO: NeNe Speaks on Abusive Ex

    The today show reported that they Nene makes $30,000. She was right there on the stage with the staff. She actually smiled and stated also that some of them were actually getting paid a little bit more than that.

    I don’t know anything about a union on this one. They are getting paid.

    This doesn’t surprise me. These women are $BIG MONEY$ (at least this is the facade they put on) so this should be of no concern to them. Yeah right!!! Truth be told, even if they were actors; when a show goes into syndication it means that the network now OWNS the rights to that show and can do as they please. A lot of series we see in syndication (Martin, Living Single, The Cosby Show etc.) are owned by the network that is airing them and those actors are not seeing a dime. That is the name of the game *shoulder shrugs*. It pays to be EDUCATED/BUSINESS SAVVY because you know what you are getting into before you sign your name on the dotted line ;).

    Then it sounds like they need to renegotiate their contract. Why let them exploit you and not get any money for it.
