That's my thinking, or they will insert a different narrator which best seems fit for the networks that pick up the 52 episodes.

They did during the last season of the old Storm Stories that was produced by Towers (2006-2007), but Jim was brought back when NBC picked it up last year.

The syndicated episodes must be popular here because I noticed recently it's shown on Saturday afternoons along with weekday overnights on our ABC affiliate. Also I wasn't aware there was a different narrator used on some of the episodes, that's news to me. :blink:
