But you don’t see TV shut down over Summer time in the UK or the US. In fact I think they’ve debuted some of their big guns in Summer in addition to live sports.

The size of the US market means there is a lot more ad revenue to go around.

TvCynic the guide you published does not include Saturday 15th December.
Is Games of Games on that night, as that would be the final episode and also NCIS: New Orleans as that would be the mid season final?
There’s minimal motivation because the networks are contempt with maintaining the status quo.
I guarantee you that if the non-ratings period was eliminated, the programming/scheduling in the 4th quarter would be miles better than what the networks currently dishing up

So that is possibly the final ever episode of Game of Games.
That is the mid season final of NCIS: New Orleans. Ten have no more new episodes available until the show returns in January.
Charmed and This is Us finish this week with Ten up to date. No new episodes available until January.
To have Supernatural up to date they would need to continue another extra week.
Madam Secretary would need another 2 weeks after this week.
Could A Million Little Things Return in a new Timeslot?
Or a multichannel.
Either that or it’s paid programming courtesy of Woolies considering the filming location and Dan Murphys name drops.

According to Mediaweek article link posted above:
(Angela) Pulvirenti created and produced the series independently and attracted a major sponsor to the series in Dan Murphy’s.

Are they series finals or season finals? I thought Elementary had another season coming from US.
Ok lets go through these:
NCIS: is a mid season finale. All episodes up to date with no new episodes available until January
Elementary: is a season final. There will be a season 7
FBI: is a mid season finale. All episodes up to date with no new episodes available until January
NCIS Los Angeles: Has 1 more episode to go until mid season finale. Obviously doubt a new episode will screen Christmas Day so that will most likely be held over.
Blind Date: season final but possibly last ever episode
Murphy Brown, The Conners, SVU and Blue Bloods still have a number of episodes to go before mid season finales.

Game of Games appears to be out of the schedule this Saturday. It reappears next Monday at 1pm.
I can’t see the show returning next year.
I think that is a good prediction.
Is that an updated EPG?
Normal online guides still showing Sat 7pm
It’s on my TV EPG.
