CBS Plans To Renew All Of This Season’s Freshman Shows

Thanks to Ivan for the heads up.

CBS plans to renew all five of the TV shows it introduced in the current season, “and we own four of them,” CEO Les Moonves told the Deutsche Bank Media, Internet & Telecom Conference this morning.

With few holes to fill in his schedule, he only ordered 17 pilots, less than usual, for this fall and only expects to pick up “no more than four or five…We don’t need that much.”

What’s more, he told the investor group, CBS owns at least half of 16 of the shows that went to pilot, and 100% of a majority of them.
