CBS Sets Traditional Seasonal Rollout
27 June 2008 10:32 AM, PDT
Although other networks may have decided on staggered roll-outs of their shows for the fall season, CBS is planning a traditional late-September launch, beginning Sept. 22 (Survivor: Gabon will debut four days earlier, in keeping with the network's previous pattern of launching the Survivor series before the official start of the season.) Since a vice-presidential debate is scheduled for Oct. 2 and a presidential faceoff on Sept. 26, a few season debuts set for those dates are being postponed until the following week. Most industry observers believe that despite the early commencement of production on shows for next season, the season would likely be delayed in the event of an actors' strike.
