HelloNinja did the CBS upfront not include Miami Trauma? Nikki Fincke is saying it may be shunted to midseason.
Yeah, I watched the lead in for this. Meh. No Gibbs/Harmon, no show.
They did mention **Miami Trauma **as a midseason show but they didn’t have any clips for us to watch. Just gave the name in passing so I forgot all about it. I don’t think they even said what the whole thing was about except that it was a medical show in Miami.
Interesting. I don’t want to hijack this thread – would you be willing to start an “ask the media buyer” thread? I’d be curious to know about how you do what you do. Like, are you trying to prepick the hits so you can lock in lower rates for shows that take off and will raise their rates later?
Unfortunately not yet… these I just noticed because I saw Heroes was moving to Mondays at 8:00 PM, instead of staying at 9:00 PM.
Actually, Ivylass and I did one of those awhile back. It was more of a broad “Ask the Media Professionals” thread, but it went pretty well.
Short answer to your question is yes. They do these upfronts so we can lock in our advertising schedules early. It’s always a gamble though since the shows could tank.
Cool – thanks for the link (and the info). I’m supposed to be working here, so will read later.
