Reduced Ratings Mean Big Changes For Broadcast TV
Faced with declining ratings and a much more challenging ad market, it’s no surprise to see these shakeups hitting the broadcast TV industry. Of course, the changes no doubt stem from the dual Hollywood strikes, which reshaped production timelines in massive ways for the 2024 broadcast season. Other tent-pole series, like ABC’s long-running medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, have faced similar hurdles. The landmark 21st season of Grey’s will see its number of cast members cut to allow for a leaner budget. While that isn’t the path FBI and FBI: Most Wanted took, both approaches have pros and cons.
FBI airs Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on CBS, followed by FBI: International at 9 PM ET, and FBI: Most Wanted airs at 10 PM ET.
