TAR 16 Start Date?
Caelestor:
That's why they should start airing the race after Olympics. And start the race soon please! I need something to follow...life is so boring right now.
theschnauzers:
I'm not sure one can assume that editing goes on right up to the premiere date or beyond it for every season. And the amount of time needed varies with the number of episodes, the number of filming days and the number of legs. The more there is of any of these factors, the more editing time is required. I'm not sure that the amount of time needed to edit an 11- or 12-episode season is the same as a 13- or 14-episode season.
I for one think the premiere date will be later than February 14th, if for no other reason than it won't get the season finale into the May sweeps period. I think a 13-plus episode isn't going to happen.
In addition, I still think CBS will avoid placing TAR during the Winter Olympics. Many fall series are taking breaks from airing new episodes from before Christmas until March for that reason.

I agree with The Schnauzers. It would be foolish for CBS to go against the 2010 Winter Olympics. This is the first time in decades not including 2002 (Salt Lake City) that the Olympics are going to be mostly live in U.S. time zones since Whistler is in the Pacific time zone. The biggest ratings for Olympics are in the early evening through about 11pm. So CBS is going to try to compete against that. I don't think so. I think the start date for telecasts of AR16 will be March 7.
On a related note. NBC is televising these Olympics so I expect Zach Behr, AR3 winner, will be there working for NBC.

Well, since 2002.

IIRC, TAR 2 began airing after the end of the Salt Lake Winter Olympics.
