Posted on: Monday, 3 March 2008, 15:00 CST
The U.S. cable television network TNT said it is planning to change most of its weekday prime time schedule to original programming by 2010.
TNT said its plan includes a mix of scripted dramas, unscripted programs and the network's award-winning NBA telecasts. Numerous new shows are already in development.
TNT also said it will continue to air popular movies on Friday nights and weekends.
This dramatic expansion of our original programming slate is an important and exciting step in the evolution of our network, Michael Wright, senior vice president in charge of the Content Creation Group for TNT, TBS and TCM, said in a statement. We've had great results with our early efforts because of the amazingly talented people who have been bringing their best work to us. We look forward to continuing that success. We're especially excited to add unscripted series to our lineup, which opens a whole new world of storytelling opportunities.
