Cable Show Scorecard: December 2012


It was a very quiet month and I have a sneaking suspicion why (other than the holidays). Because of that I'm making a change this month.

You will notice that there are only 2 cancellations on this list and the reason for that is that I'm changing my 8 month rule to 9 months (so no shows that ended in March will be moved this month).

Though I've been burned by that twice in the past that's not my reason for the change. The real reason is that over the next 5 months just about all of the cable networks will either lock down their spring/summer schedules or they will do an upfront presentation. That is a very big time for renewals and cancellations (more likely renewals on cable) and since there's no way of telling when each network will make their announcements I felt it was better to extend the time frame than to rush things and have the network make all their announcements a few weeks later.

I'm also going to start phasing out some networks too probably starting next month (Food Network comes to mind) but I need to get that together to decide for good what I'm keeping and what I'm dumping to make things more organized.
