Broadcasting & Cable - August 11, 2002

For the new first-run syndication season, program distributors and their station clients are focused on the two meat-and-potatoes formats of the medium: talk shows and game shows. With six new talk shows and two new game shows on the schedule, more than half the new strips for the 2002-03 season fall into one of those categories.
