Amazing Race Season 15 ratings
theschnauzers:
CBS Corp. lost about a billion dollars (US) in their last fiscal year, and they were a network that was percieved as having done better than its three main competitors. This also explain what seems on the surface to be peculiar strategies by GE to spin off NBCU to a joint venture with Comcast Cable, and why Disney and News Corp. seems to be faster on the trigger with some new shows. (Still doesn't explain why Three Rivers is still on the air, but I suspect CBS is not convince they have a replacement that will do any better.)
I'm not expecting budget increases anytime soon. TAR is carrying its own weight revenue wise, as are many other CBS shows, but there are losses, and the CW is doing poorly as well.
Seattlite:
CBS reported net income of $207.6 million compared with a loss of $12.46 billion in the third quarter of 2009, when the company wrote down the value of its TV and radio stations.
Revenue of $3.35 billion for the quarter was flat compared with the year-earlier period.
"There is no question that we are seeing strong evidence of a recovery right now," CBS Chief (etc.)
mswood:
So far this season networks have been slower (then usual) at canceling shows. Typically each network has killed at least one or two shows by the start of November.
But this year its been different. It is though that do to most of the shows that are new having standard 13 episode orders (and most are probably filming episode 12 right now), that it would be cost effective to let those 13 episodes air instead of producing and never airing them.
Finally some shows are getting canned this week (some terrible performers that reruns of other shows would easily outperform). But make no mistake Three Rivers is dead. If CBS wanted it to continue they would have already ordered addition episodes (they didn't). Think of it as a soft cancellation.

Many of us in the eastern and central time zones are going to be facing yet another week where the single NFL game on local CBS stations will be the one late (4 pm) game.

These areas include in no particular order: Florida (from Miami to Tampa), New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlotte, most of Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, and Minnesota, and small parts of Nebraska, Iowa and the Dakotas.
