That is great for the show. CBS & ABC Studios might have more inclination to keep it on air if it still can get deals like that.
CBS winter sched:
CM returns Jan 3 but is preempted by Amazing Race for Feb 7, 14 and 21.
Preempted by Seal Team on Feb 28.
Also, Jan 24 will be 2 hrs of Amazing Race going to Criminal Minds.
Basically no CM for Feb.
