Buena Vista Television is marketing 'Home Improvement' for a fall 1995 launch of off-network syndication in Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; and San Francisco, CA. Observers believe Buena Vista will offer a minimum four-and-a-half year cash and barter license term for an initial 124 programs.
