Is the 10:00 Hour Dead?
Yesterday, NBC head Jeff Zucker announced restructuring aimed at saving the ailing network. He also suggested that NBC may cut its primetime hours to further cut costs.
I actually think shaving the 10:00 hour would be okay. I almost never watch any of the 10:00 shows on any network all the way through. I watch Dirty Sexy Money the next day or so on the computer. Sometimes I catch part of Brothers & Sisters while I’m falling asleep Sunday nights. But, other than that, I don’t even know what comes on at 10:00 on most networks on any given night. The CW and Fox already go to local news and syndicated sitcoms during that hour.
What do you think? Would anything be lost if the networks all cut the 10:00 programming and focused on putting better shows in the slots they have left?
