Yes, I think CBS is taking a gamble, but what are the alternatives? Katie is coming in and it will just take some time to see how it goes.

The same way a producer can finance a movie through banks, given that he has a Paul Newman or Mel Gibson sign on for the staring role. They are banking on the reputation and history of the leading man, not on having a good movie script.

How can that be?  How can they sell ads without knowing what the ratings are?

be able to do
that.
I heard on the radio that CBS has already sold that much in advertising
so they are all set.
