Hmm.. Mystery Of Laura encore had been scheduled at 8pm, although they've also got it scheduled to run on Friday at 8pm as well.  After watching NBC do this for a decade and a half, I've learned that when NBC starts pulling star-centered encore episodes early in the season, they've already declared the show dead, but are awaiting a more public announcement due to PR or maybe long term contracts that would give them another show...  remember the second year of Smash?

Hmm, looks like this Global Citizen Festival wasn't exactly "breaking news".

So, this is happening next year too.  It will be interesting to see if NBC waits until three days before it happens to let stations know about it, again.
