Pride Goeth Before Fall Sweeps
Two high-profile broadcast shows on the ropes have gotten a standing eight count. NBC's Father of the Pride is taking a seat through sweeps. The winner is weight-loss reality show The Biggest Loser, which will replace it on Tuesday nights. CBS is also sending medical drama Dr. Vegas to the waiting room through December. In its place will be repeats of Without a Trace, CSI and CSI: Miami.
Braun Yahoo!'s
Yahoo! has upped its ex-TV executive contingent, naming former ABC Entertainment TV Group Chairman Lloyd Braun to head its media and entertainment group. Braun, who was ousted from his ABC post in April, will push the migration of streamed content to the Web and create original fare.
