[ # ] Fox keeps House at 9
July 17th, 2006 under Fox

Fox’s new hostage-negotiator drama "Standoff" will debut September 5 in the coveted spot behind the network’s top drama, "House." For the first four weeks of its run, before Fox’s Tuesday lineup goes on hiatus to make room for postseason baseball coverage, "Standoff" will swap time slots with "House," airing at 9 p.m. instead of the previously announced 8 p.m. berth. Fox has been double-pumping repeats of "House" at 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tuesdays this summer."We think that no matter if ‘House’ is on at 8 or 9 p.m., the audience will be there for the show," said Preston Beckman, Fox’s executive vp strategic program planning. "We love the ‘Standoff’ pilot, and we think this is going to be a great night of television."Given the fact that neither "Standoff" nor "House" are heavily serialized, Beckman doesn’t expect any detrimental effect on the shows from the pre-emption.

This is the second the show that the networks have moved back to their original timeslots. Smart moves!
