The actors and writers strikes are forcing the networks to take crucial action.
Facing a scarcity of original programming, the broadcast companies are lining up their streaming hits in reruns.
CBS is going to show Season 1 of “Yellowstone,” which already aired on their cousin, the Paramount Network.
ABC has added “Ms. Marvel” to their fall schedule, taken from Disney Plus.
And that won’t be all as the nets look over everything they own to see what they can plug holes with. Otherwise, the nets will be filmed with game shows and lots of reruns of shows that have already been rerun.
NBC has yet to pull the trigger but they have plenty of Peacock material at hand. “Poker Face” could be a 10pm show easily if cleaned up a bit.
CBS would be smart to launch all the seasons of “The Good Fight” from its long now concluded run.
Soon, all the streaming subscribers will see their shows on free TV. That could be interesting. And where is the “Downton Abbey” marathon?
