This advance notification makes it a bit easier to plan & schedule promos and newscasts during the November Sweep.

Notice all the recent announcements of shows beginning 1 minute after the hour?

Yet another sign that NBC is now willing to play, in 60 second increments, with start times and over-runs.  Could this be a shift of NBC watching more minute-by-minute data of some kind, and playing within the new rules?  Don't think there's evil intent here, but it bears watching.
