In the news: CBS has until October to decide on Flashpoint

From Bill Brioux at the Canadian Press:

• Flashpoint tries to prove its worth to CBS at television critics tour
  “Flashpoint may be a victim of the new TV math. A fifth season of “Medium” just has a bigger upside for CBS. They cash in on back-end revenues from future syndication and DVD sales. Flashpoint is three or four years away from cracking the magic 100 episode barrier.” Read more.

And at TV Feeds My Family:

• CBS Has Till Oct. To Re-up Flashpoint
  “The fear, though, is that, as one U.S. critic suggested to me down here, Canada might become a place where networks can import a steady stream of ‘cheap failures.’ Not that anybody sets out to make a flop–not even The CW–but since 80% of new TV shows fail anyway, why not gamble with other people’s money?” Read more.
