CBS Announces Summer Primetime Schedule

Jennifer Finnigan won three Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal
of Bridget Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Next she'll star
as Grace Darrow in Salvation.

CBS has announced its summer schedule, including the new event series Salvation, the new live-action game show Candy Crush, the third season of Zoo, based on James Patterson’s #1 bestselling novel, and the return of the summer sensation Big Brother.

Big Brother, hosted by Julie Chen, will once again have three weekly episodes. The hit reality series debuts with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, June 28 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT), followed by the Thursday broadcast on June 29 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT), Sunday’s installment on July 2 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT), and its regular Wednesday time period on July 5 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT). Last summer, all three editions ranked among the summer’s top 10 broadcasts in adults 18-49, adults 18-34 and adults 25-54.

Zoo, last summer’s #2 scripted series, returns for its third season on Thursday, June 29 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT). In season three, the year is 2027 and the world has reached a tipping point: as the human population continues to dwindle due to the sterility problem, an equally devastating threat rises in the form of “the hybrids,” an army of unstoppable lab-made creatures, hell-bent on destroying Mankind.

North Carolina's Triangle Transit Is Filming A Soap Opera On Its Busses
Conceived over a lunch between Lauren Parker and Damien Graham of Triangle Transit's communication team, AS THE BUS STOPS is the organization's attempt to make public transportation approachable in a city that doesn't have quite the same appreciation for shared seats as New York or LA.

Parker and her team got together and made two lists; First, a list of all the services they would like potential riders to know about; Second, a list of all the tropes of a good soap opera. Put them together and and it's only a matter of time before the research triangle becomes the love triangle.
