CBS is eyeing “cost-effective” original programming that it can air on Saturday evenings ahead of 48 Hours.
The broadcaster largely airs repeats on Saturday night between 8pm and 10pm ahead of the news/documentary show that has run since 1988.
But CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said he was personally invested to find a show for Saturdays.
“We do very well with original programming at 10pm with 48 Hours and I would like to crack the code earlier in the evening and find something that is cost-effective but can still drive some audiences,” he said.
Kahl, speaking at the TCA summer press tour, added, “Saturday night is a unique issue; there is lower viewership on Saturday but it is a little bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, if you don’t put great shows on, no one is going to come.”

Craig T. Nelson, perhaps still most identified with the comically oafish and bumbling title character on "Coach" (1989–97), insists his lifelong career on television has in no way curtailed other options.
