05/14/08

Good morning.  It’s Wednesday, May 14, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing. 

Broadcast Upfront week continues with fall schedule announcements from ABC, The CW and ESPN (read below).  And this pre-upfront news from CBS – Just prior to its formal upfront show, CBS announced renewals for four series: How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Rules of Engagement and The Unit. The vampire drama Moonlight did not fare as well, as CBS decided to not grant it a pickup.

CBS’ Upfront presentation is scheduled for 4pm this afternoon, and jumping into the middle of the broadcasters’ upfront week is Turner Broadcasting with its upfront announcements for TBS, TNT and truTV scheduled for this morning.

UPFRONT UPDATE: The CW

The CW is the second broadcast network who tried a new format this year. In lieu of the typical proscenium theatre “show”, an enormous tent at Lincoln Center, early evening cocktail party setting with lots of food, drink and music, and a fairly brief presentation. IMHO, shaking up this process was a long time coming, and doing things a little different than the traditional makes the entire process more festive, entertaining and fun.

Tuesday: 90210, Surviving the Filthy Rich
