NBC places the Miss USA Pageant out of sweeps this time, and it seems the Peacock is giving Office a hefty run while all the stars are in place.

We Love You, Maria.....
It's not the usual day a guy can look at a computer screen at his home office, and sigh and say out loud (presumably to himself) "I love you, Maria.." and then have his wife walk up from behind, and hear her say "yeah, I loved working with her, too." (she was an GE FMP and worked with Maria for about 6 years)
Without Maria's kind guidance, most NBC stations would be totally SOL re: NBC Sports. If you don't know which Maria we're talking about, you aren't an NBC affiliate.
If you are an NBC affiliate, and don't have an RD or RDRx service, you're missing out on hundreds of sports events each year. Give your OneDomain rep a call and we can get you on the road to actually selling the little gems Maria provides.

ODI Closed on Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Here's the official notification.
Ok, here's a factoid you didn't expect. On August 28th, 1963, as Martin Luther King Jr. and hundreds of thousands of others marched through Washington DC on their way to the Lincoln Memorial, they walked through Washington Circle.. where a half-blind, white bread future ratings geek stood on the curb with his father and watched in astonishment.
I can't say I actually saw MLK. But as best I could, I witnessed a massive change in our country.

Undercovers Cancelled.. TBA replaces in 2011
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- NBC has canceled its freshman drama "Undercovers."
Network and studio sources have confirmed the Peacock won't order any additional episodes of the series, which is still expected to complete production on its original 13-episode order.
Last night's installment drew 5.85 million viewers and a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49, the latter of which tied a repeat of "Hell's Kitchen" on FOX and an original "America's Next Top Model" on The CW for third place in its Wednesday, 8:00/7:00c slot.
"Undercovers" is still on the schedule (November 10, November 17 and December 1), however beyond that remains to be determined. Six episodes - including the post-pilot installment (#2J5451) - have yet to air.
Bryan Burk, J.J. Abrams and Josh Reims are the executive producers for Warner Bros. Television.

Soft-Money Robo-Calls Jam RDRx Phone Lines til 11/2
Nutshell: Use email to reach me for a couple of weeks.. If you telephone, you might get lost in the Nevada Political BS.
-----------------------------------------
Wow, with all the money being spent on political advertising, you would think they could get better automated calling systems. Our offices are getting several calls each hour from various political and "research" organizations. That's what you get for having a published phone number in these days of politics by checkbook, I suppose.
So, from now through November 2nd, the direct phone line number you've previously been given will be answered by voicemail at all hours, instead of just Midnight til 8am. I simply don't have the time to answer, repeat my greeting and then wait for some crappy tape recording of "Hello, I'm with GPS Research.. did you know Harry Reid.." Click.
My knickers are in a twist for a couple of reasons. I have a BA degree in Political Science and have managed (winning) political campaigns long ago. But most of all, I hate the fake "research" companies... if there were humans actually calling from those lie-foundries, they would hang up on ME after a few moments.
Added the next day: Honest, I didn't know GPS Research was really Karl Rove's slushfund. I just knew they stunk... now I know why.
Added the weekend after the election: Funny, the Republicans don't seem to be interested in my opinion anymore. Phone lines return to normal.

The Event, Outsourced & L&O:LA Get Season Orders
NBC ORDERS FULL-SEASON PICKUPS FOR NEW SERIES ‘THE EVENT,’ ‘LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES’ AND ‘OUTSOURCED’
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – October 18, 2010 – NBC has given full-season pickups to three of its new Fall 2010-11 series, "The Event," "Law & Order: Los Angeles" and "Outsourced." The announcement was made by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.
"We are pleased with the quality of ‘The Event,’ ‘Law & Order: Los Angeles’ and ‘Outsourced,’ and feel they are an important part of helping to re-build our schedule and our studio pipeline," said Bromstad.
"We believe in these new series and the creative auspices behind them."
Through October 11, "The Event" has averaged a 3.0 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 9.1 million viewers overall in "most current" averages from Nielsen Media Research.
"The Event" has generated a 30 percent improvement in the time period versus year-ago "most current" results for NBC in 18-49 rating (with a 3.0 rating vs. a 2.3) and a 47 percent increase in total viewers (9.1 million vs. 6.2 million). On a percentage basis, "The Event" was the most time-shifted new series in adults 18-49 during premiere week from among the ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox primetime lineups, with 35 percent of "The Event's" "live plus seven day" rating being accounted for by time-shifting. Additionally, "The Event" was licensed to nearly 200 territories internationally even before its U.S. premiere, and is launching in numerous regions abroad to impressive ratings.
As of October 13, "Law & Order: Los Angeles" has averaged a 2.5 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 8.7 million viewers overall in "live plus same day" averages from Nielsen. "Law & Order: L.A." has delivered a 39 percent improvement in the time period versus year-ago "live plus same day" results for NBC in 18-49 rating (with a 2.5 rating vs. a 1.8) and a 45 percent increase in total viewers (8.7 million vs. 6.0 million).
Through October 14, "Outsourced" has averaged a 3.0 rating, 8 share in adults 18-49 and 6.3 million viewers overall in "most current" averages from Nielsen. In the valuable adult 18-34 demographic, "Outsourced" is averaging a 3.3 rating, making it the #1 new series on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox this fall. "Outsourced" is also heavily time-shifted, adding 19 percent to its "live plus same day" 18-49 rating when Nielsen issued "live plus seven day" results for premiere week (to a 4.29 rating from a 3.59), making it the top gainer among first-year half-hour comedies on the ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox primetime lineups.

In addition, The Apprentice will kick off its season a week early with a 2-hour event on 9/16.

WHAT IS POKER AFTER DARK?
POKER AFTER DARK IS A FLUSH WITH THE FANS
* One Exclusive Tournament Each Week
* Six Consecutive Nights of Televised Poker at 2:05AM on NBC
* $120,000 in Prize Money
When the world's best poker players and the game's biggest personalities get together to play in a high-stakes, winner-take-all tournament, you never know what's going to happen. Tune in to watch all the action when the cards fly, the tempers flare, and the chips fall on NBC's groundbreaking poker program, Poker After Dark.
Starting January 2nd, 2007, six of the world's best poker players will gather in Las Vegas each week to play in this invitation-only event.
The buy-in; $20,000 each. The prize; $120,000 to the winner and a lovely parting gift for everyone else.
Hosted by Leeann Tweeden, each week's tournament will follow the action from the time the players shuffle up and deal until the last pot is pushed to the winner. In between, you'll see first-hand why the pros say it takes more than just good cards to be a winning player.
Bluffs will be called, nerves will be tested, and characters judged as each player attempts to outplay, outwit, and outmaneuver the competition.
When all is said and done, one player will walk away a winner while the rest will just walk away.
You've never seen poker played like this before - and it's brought to you like only the pros at Full Tilt Poker.Net and NBC can.

Fourth Quarter Sports Progress
All NBC RDRx stations, except those on the Raycom VPN, have been fully updated.
Raycom stations are now taking much longer due to procedural issues caused by new VPN software and hardware requirements. I'm sure they feel safer, however. :)

Fourth Quarter Sports on NBC Trumps POTUS
Today, I was one of 3000 NV residents invited to attend an event this afternoon on The Strip, given by President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. I have friends of many political, religious and cultural backgrounds, as well as a degree in Political Science. I am NOT a political donor. (Hold those calls.)
The most powerful man in the free world will start talking in a few minutes. But I'm not there.
Instead, I'm changing NBC Sports Specials for 4th Quarter for my NBC clients.
Tomorrow, at least the AE's I support will be better off.
The rest of the country? I'm not so sure.

The rest of the country? I'm not so sure.

New York Times: NBC Program Scheduling "Inexplicable"
July 2, 2010, 4:00 pm
In U.S., Wimbledon Works on NBC Time
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
In U.S., Wimbledon Works on NBC Time
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
NBC’s tape-delaying of Wimbledon semifinals matches remains one of the most perplexing practices in television sports.
It is NBC’s contractual right do it but the All-England Club should have negotiated it out of the network’s deal long ago. For as long as NBC has pursued the policy, as if it were acceptable, it has been an anti-fan practice.
With the ability to stream the match live online, and with ESPN and the Tennis Channel as cable partners, NBC’s delaying tactics in 2010 is more inexplicable than ever.
NBC’s contract runs through next year and can be extended for two more at the club’s option. Note to club: do not renew or extend NBC’s deal unless the network guarantees that it will, if necessary, pre-empt any of the programming, including the lucrative “Today” show and “Ellen,” that runs instead of live tennis.
On Friday, ESPN2’s coverage of Tomas Berdych’s semifinal victory over Novak Djokovic ended at 10:28 a.m. eastern. Then, the network had to vamp until noon because it did not have the right to show the second semifinal.
The Rafael Nadal-Andy Murray match began at 10:55 a.m., but neither NBC nor ESPN2 viewers could see it. The void lasted until noon, when NBC’s broadcast window began.
By the time NBC came on the air, Nadal had won the first set, and the second was well under way. But in NBC Time it had not started. The network came on the air and spent six minutes in a taped (of course!) preview of the match; it showed fans entering the gates of the club, drinking Champagne and awaiting the start of the match on Henman Hill, all of it hours ago.
We saw the players warm up. We heard the announcers discuss the forthcoming match.
Then, the match began, in NBC Time, eastern time zone, at 12:06 p.m., 71 minutes after it began on Planet Earth. It was streamed, on delay, of course, on nbcsports.com.
What makes NBC’s plausibly-live Wimbledon even more nettlesome is that its broadcast window begins at noon in all time zones — delaying the start button of NBC’s recording by at least another hour depending on the time zone you live in.
On their way out the door @ 30 Rock..

And unless EA Sports is paying big bucks to promote LAST year's video game, my guess is the name is wrong, too.

Sorry, WLBT!
I had planned to take today off, my first vacation day since 2008.
But NBC has made more changes since last night, and I've tried to update WLBT, but the Raycom VPN is not working properly. I've contacted ODI and Raycom, but I have a feeling this won't be fixed today as so many people DID take today off.
So, we're both hosed. :) You have bad info, and I don't get a vacation day.
2:10pm Edit: It's a lot more complicated than we thought... but bless Mr. Stabler's heart! We're still trying.

Surprise! Love Bites "later"; Apprentice Moves to Thursdays This Fall
Message: Apprentice joins the NBC fall schedule Thursdays at 10 this September. Love Bites will join the schedule later in the fall.
Oh, and here's a paragraph from this morning's Cynopsis, indicating this program change had been long planned...
Raycom's VPN is down due to their quarterly reset. I've asked the few people working today in Bham to contact Raycom to allow us to access their stations.
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – July 1, 2010 – NBC will debut the newly revised edition of its previously announced “The Apprentice” series on Thursdays (10-11 p.m. ET) beginning this Fall.
NBC and Donald Trump want to put America back to work -- and after a long wait, the boardroom will be open again for candidates who have lost their jobs as the network showcases an updated version of the popular original alternative series “The Apprentice,” with Trump returning to preside.
“Love Bites,” the hour-long romantic comedy anthology series that was previously scheduled for Thursdays (10-11 p.m. ET) beginning this Fall, will premiere later during the 2010-11 season.
"Everyone at the network loves 'Love Bites,' but for a number of reasons, it now makes sense to showcase the comedic anthology series a little later in the new season," said Mitch Metcalf, Executive Vice President, Program Planning & Scheduling, NBC Entertainment. "We're extremely fortunate to have a potent show such as the new and contemporary version of Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice' ready to step into the slot and keep our Thursday lineup moving forward from a position of strength."
Oh, and here's a paragraph from this morning's Cynopsis, indicating this program change had been long planned...
NBC decided to take its new hour-long romantic comedy Love Bites off the schedule for this fall, replacing it in the 10p Thursday time slot with Donald Trump's The Apprentice. Several issues befell the comedic anthology series recently as showrunner Cindy Chupack asked to depart the series; previously actress Jordana Spiro left the show because she was contractually obligated to remain on the TBS comedy My Boys; and the character played by actress Becky Newton must be reworked as she played a virgin in the pilot episode though in real life she is now pregnant. The Apprentice will air for 13 weeks and NBC may opt to launch Love Bites in or before January 2011. Production on Love Bites had not yet begun and will not start for several more weeks as executive producers work out all the extenuating issues. NBC continues to stick to the 13-episode order for Love Bites, produced by Universal Media Studios and Working Title Television.
Raycom's VPN is down due to their quarterly reset. I've asked the few people working today in Bham to contact Raycom to allow us to access their stations.

No RD or RDRx? Your NBC Inventory is Probably Wrong Now
Seven hours before the "go to" website FutonCritic first reported massive NBC prime summer schedule changes last night, NothingButChange readers saw it here. (See below)
In addition, all RDRx NBC clients came to work this morning with totally updated inventory, audience estimates, and a Master Planner saved as Avail based on the new schedule for 3rd Quarter. Premiere clients will find a copy of the Master Planner saved to their desktops when they arrive.
