television scheduling

[Hyde Hill]

Ok just have 2 quick questions about television scheduling. 1. Can one reschedule the airing (, not taping i know how to do that,) of one of your existing shows on the network you are on without having to wait till the contract is finished and then expanding onto the same network? Because that expansion isnt a "real" expansion but it does count towards the 1 expansion per round limit. If thats not possible i think it might be wise for Adam to tweak the extend contract option so that you have the choice to renegotiate the airing timeslot as well. 2. How do you choose said timeslot when expanding onto a new or as is the case now current network when you have no idea what next seasons scheduling will be like?? Just go as close to prime time as possible and pray? Should be nice if the new schedule was known to some extent as far as ratings per slot before you decide when to air, so you can maximise your own ratings and avoid the popular programs on other networks. Thanks in Advance.
