CBS and CW will sit out the week's events, preferring to stage their own festivities at a separate time and place. CBS will have a series of upfront events organized by their parent company Paramount at the Chelsea Theatre in New York at the end of April. By the time the other networks have their turns, CBS should have already made their fall schedule public.

I'll have the details and results from this group after they are announced.

I used to look forward to them every year. I haven't really payed attention to them in almost a decade. I just don't watch many current primetime shows anymore..

I looked forward to the schedules and the weekly rating reports. Now for me just take the 'm' out of the above sentence.
