TAR 16 Start Date?
mungobuh:
I would be so happy if the race started somewhere OTHER than freakin' California for a change. I understand the rationale of keeping costs down, but the dork in me loves to see varying cities. Loved seeing TAR9 start and end at Red Rocks in CO, as well as the southward direction of the final leg in TAR5 (Canada south to Texas).
I'm still hoping (and praying) for the day that the race starts and/or ends in St. Louis. A few years back, I posted a thread here at RFF about scenarios where St. Louis could be used for start or end city.

Here comes another lurker who loves the site. A Whistler stop would make sense given the Olympics and there is already a lot of snow, though it officially doesn't open until November 26. I think it would be more likely at the end of the race since they love the long flight opening the show and a southern route after the current race would seem to fit.

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.

My editing time assumes that editing starts the day the first leg is filmed and continues to the premier premiere date. Its the minimum amount of time they have to edit the first episode.
When is May sweeps? The last 2 weeks of May?
The Oscars are on March 7 - so that date is probably out too - which takes us to March 14 which probably fits better with the final finale being at the end of May - assuming a 12 week season.
So all that gives us is more edit time - I still don't think they'll be racing over the Christmas season...
TARAsia Fan:
Sometimes during Olympic-years, Nielsen will adjust the May ratings sweeps period, but that has been rare.
I do think we'll see a late February premiere date for TAR 16, running into mid-late May.
