Programming Notes

TBS renewed Men at Work for 10 episodes.

NBC is projected to lose $100 million on the 2012 Summer Olympics, an improvement on the $223 million it lost on the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Excuse of the Day

Live viewing in the 10 p.m. timeslot is challenged these days because so many people are watching other programs via DVR during that hour.
