Has Lionsgate said anything after Nick bought TMNT?

I am getting concerned over the old toon DVDs. Lionsgate hasn't said anything after Season 8 came out back on September 1st, which was before the Nick deal happened. We've heard Nick wants to buy the old toon rights from Fred Wolf/Lions Gate.

Is Lionsgate still going to release the final two seasons, plus the 3 skipped eps on DVD?

If they've already signed contractual agreements to be able to do so (and they probably would've, by the point of the sale), then Nickelodeon will have to honor them.

Lionsgate tends to go dark for a good long while between releases. Sometimes it's taken them about a year a between releases and still only announce the release a couple of months in advance.

The only reason they haven't said anything is because they're just about to release the full season 7 set, which counts just as much as any of their other Ninja Turtles releases.

If we don't hear anything by May, THEN we'll have to start wondering...
