“The Bernie Mac Show “ is headed to Bounce TV in a multi-year agreement with Twentieth Television.

The channel, a digital multicast network that targets African American audiences, acquired all five seasons of Fox’s family sitcom loosely based on the late comedian’s life.

“Bernie Mac” joins several other previously acquired sitcoms in Bounce TV’s early evening lineup, including “The Hughleys” and “The Parent ‘Hood.”

Beginning June 1, Bounce TV will air two back-to-back episodes of “Bernie Mac” in the 8 p.m. ET time slot.
