CBS wants to "crack the code" of offering "cost-effective" original programming for Saturday nights

Deadline

CBS' Saturday lineup currently consists of two hours of reruns followed by 48 Hours at 10 p.m. “Saturday night is a unique issue; there is lower viewership on Saturday but it is a little bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, if you don’t put great shows on, no one is going to come," CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said at the TV press tour.
