Programming Notes

FOX Sports West will remain the home of the L.A. Kings, through the 2023-2024 season, at an estimated price of $250 million.

The Spartacus series will end after "Spartacus: War of the Damned," which starts in January.

Excuse of the Day

At ABC, the summer premieres of ''Secret Millionaire'' ... and ''Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition'... were both well down from their launches of last year but performed decently given the night's special competition.
