NBC seems to have managed just fine while figuring out its fall schedule amid an industry-crippling writers strike, with its "continuous production model" enabling it to build a Tuesday night comedy block around Night Court, and the network's $350 million multi-year deal with the Big Ten allowing it to put together powerhouse back-and-back nights of live weekend primetime football.
NBC will now move its broadcasts of Notre Dame football games to prime-time on Saturdays, while interspersing games from the Big Ten Conference in that prime-time slot, as well.
