Broadcast Nets Will All Do Upfront Presentations

All of the broadcast networks will do some type of upfront presentation during the traditional upfront week, May 12-15 this year, but they may not include the elaborate post-presentation receptions of years past.
CBS became the first network to officially announce that it would hold a presentation for advertisers at it traditional Carnegie Hall location in New York on May 14, “with additional details to be announced at a later date.”
Also, ABC sales president Mike Shaw confirmed that ABC will “definitely” hold its upfront presentation at its traditional Lincoln Center on May 13, although the fate of the post-presentation cocktail reception is still under discussion.
With The CW network partnering with CBS is many areas, it is likely that it, too, will have some type of upfront presentation on May 15.
NBC Universal president and CEO Jeff Zucker last month said the network might scrap its major presentation at Radio City. Today, though, NBC spokesperson Liz Fischer said while the network has yet to determine what might specifically replace it on May 12, "changes will be made to the upfront and plans are underway. We will have an announcement shortly."
While Fox has not commented officially, insiders say plans call for that network to also hold its upfront presentation on May 15.

Take a guess how many episodes this lady with 13 cases plays for? 3-count 'em-3 episodes. She started on Wednesday, she plays on Monday, and finishes her game the next episode.
The only time a contestant has ever lasted 3 shows is for syndicated Millionaire, and that's a half hour with trivia questions which takes time.
It kinda took away from the value of the $1M win with the Mission. They are basically handing it over.
You might want to look at the NBC press website.....especially the description for the 2/20 episode...
Wow, I completely miss read the names on the storyline for the 20th when NBC originally sent it to me.
No confirmation yet as to whether MyNetworkTV will be doing an upfront or a series of presentations to agencies as with last years upfront.

Originally posted by DB108: CBS is now doing enhanced episodes of Ghost Whisperer and CSI Miami???? I can understand Lost - it's a complex series that viewers can easily fall behind on. But CSI Miami?? Really?
Lost's popups were kind of snarky (at least for the repeat of last season's finale). I'd love to see the same for CSI Miami just because the series is SO bad and David Caruso is such a terrible actor, it'd be a ball if they went the ironic route.
ANTM has been an amazingly consistent performer for the UPN and CW. It reminds me a lot of Survivor in that respect - the first two seasons garnered a lot of interest and elevated viewership numbers, then in subsequent seasons ratings settled down a bit and it became a ratings warhorse. But even Survivor in 2008 is certainly not the Survivor of 2002 and ratings are on a slow, unstoppable decline. ANTM is likely to go the same route. Neither are in any danger, but their peak is obviously behind them.
Well i like better CSI Miami than Lost. Please don't shoot me.

Season Four has been great.
Well if you take out the first episode which was really bad, i agree season 4 looks much better than seasons 2 and 3. But still it's not as good as season 1
Originally posted by Devilz_0: CSI Miami is a big crapfeat, horrible show, the same also goes for CSI NY
the only respectable csi is the original
Lost is original and awesome, and doesnt recycle stories every season
You're right Lost is so original that i've seen a dozen shows with the same elements. Thank God they've invented Survivor beacause otherwise you wouldn't be seeing Lost now
i know it's the wrong day... and it's late so no one will read this... but just got back from a friends place. watched boston legal. i'm not sure why there's so much joy by some for the low ratings it sometimes gets or the dislike for the show... but i just wanted to say that it was so good this week. shatner, candace bergen, john laroquette, scott bakula... i know we all wanna see serious dramatic shows with young dudes running around but now and then it's so cool to see these veterans... especially together. that's all... not arguing ratings etc. just hope it comes back. sorry if any of this offends people.

Completely, 100% agree. Watching Lost is fun again.
LOST was sooooo good last night!! I guessed Sayid's "employer" though. Still, the plot twists just keep coming, and we're finally getting a sense about the island too!!
Also, Eli Stone was excellent again! After a sub-par week 2 episode, it came back with a vengeance last night. It was at least as good as the series premiere, and perhaps slightly better! I hope its ratings reflect that.
After recycling "Indiana Jones" and "Survivor" for years, Lost moved on to "James Bond" and "Bourne Identity" this episode. As many cliches as usual, but a nice change of pace nonetheless.
