It may not be a favorite around these here parts, but Eleventh Hour has proven popular enough with the rest of America to be given a full-season order by CBS... Well, an almost full season, anyway. Variety reported Monday that CBS has given an order for the "back five" episodes of the season - bringing the season total to eighteen episodes, instead of the more common twenty-two. The reason for the shorter season, according to the report, is the network's unhappiness at the show's lack of success in holding onto the audience of CSI, the show that precedes it on...

For many Broadcasting Brain readers today is called Veterans Day. Here in Canada we call it Remembrance Day. This holiday marks the date (Nov. 11, 1918) that World War I hostilities ceased, bringing an end to that war at 11 AM (UK time) that day. I’m pretty fortunate: I’ve never been a part of a war, nor have any of my family members. Nonetheless, there are wars going on in the world as I write this post. In some ways the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq are smaller in scale, but they are still brutal and they still disrupt...

POLITICS BUZZ: After months of threatening to run an ad dredging up Reverend Wright, a group called the National Republican Trust made a splashy ad buy at the eleventh hour, running it nationwide during Monday Night Football, SNL, and (inexplicably) The Rachel Maddow Show. Given the millions of dollars this cost, you’d expect some more strategic thinking about where the ad ran (like, a blitz in battleground states for instance), so what was their actual intention here?
