Jun 24, 2014  •  Post A Comment

CBS is breaking with tradition this year and will employ a staggered schedule of fall premieres. EW.com's Inside TV reports that the schedule change is partly in response to the network's new "Thursday Night Football" programming.

Additionally, CBS will experiment with wrapping some of its summer dramas during fall premiere week.

Nina Tassler, chairman of CBS Entertainment, said: “The addition of 'Thursday Night Football' provides the flexibility to strategically roll out our fall season in multiple waves, maximizing promotional platforms and scheduling opportunities to give our new and returning series the best possible launch."

The network's blockbuster comedy series "The Big Bang Theory" will launch on Monday night, Sept. 22, with a one-hour block before shifting in October to Thursday nights.
