USA Fox Opts Out of Network TV’s Traditional Pilot Season

Rupert Murdoch’s Fox broadcast network will move to year-round development of television series, skipping the traditional pilot season in an approach that more closely resembles cable TV’s process.

The change means Fox will no longer participate in the annual TV-pilot process, Kevin Reilly, chairman of entertainment at 21st Century Fox Inc.’s Fox Broadcasting, said at a Television Critics Association meeting yesterday in Pasadena, California. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-13/fox-opts-out-of-network-tv-s-traditional-pilot-season.html
