College baseball and softball broadcasts, however, continued to use the previous (2007) graphics for the 2010 College World Series telecasts. The pitch count was also introduced, adopted from the New York Yankees' broadcasts on the YES Network, as well as NESN for the Boston Red Sox. And instead of numbers to represent the balls, strikes and outs, dots were represented for each: three green dots for balls, two yellow dots for strikes, and two red dots for outs. The score banner was converted to a score box in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

The idea is keen to the halo effect of off-network syndication to sitcom’s original runs.

As a result of the early pickups, both will air two 10-episode seasons in 2016. For Angie Tribeca, it will be less than six months between the premieres of Season 1 (January 17) and Season 2 (June 6).ĭuring the Turner upfront presentation, TNT and TBS president Kevin Reilly noted plans to have two season launches in the same calendar year for TBS comedy series as “we continue to screw around with” the traditional TV model.Īfter the presentation, Reilly revealed more details about the plan to Deadline.
