Staying In

Updated 9/11/09 – New CW night info.

Updated 8/28/09 with talent lineup announcement.

Updated 8/26/09 to reflect new lineup. New additions are in italics.

The Paley Center for Media has announced the programming for this year’s Fall TV Preview Parties in Los Angeles, which are being renamed under the PaleyFest banner as PaleyFest: Fall TV Preview Parties Presented by TV Guide Magazine.

It’s a smart move considering how many people I encounter who think every smaller seminar that takes place at the Paley Center is part of the William S. Paley Television Festival that’s held for two weeks in March/April. It’s also a natural outreach of the festival since some of the shows listed below will probably be part of PaleyFest early next year.
