Trump to move into its mostexclusive neighborhood on Thursday night, the network's competitorsimmediately recognized the momentousness of the programming maneuver.For the sake of finding the best location for Mr. Trump's new realityseries, "The Apprentice," NBC broke with a two-decade tradition ofoffering its four best comedies in a row on Thursday night, the nightof "Friends" and "Cheers" and "Seinfeld," the night that has generatedthe most advertising revenue by far for any network.Now that "The Apprentice" has become the most successful new show ofthe season, NBC executives have announced that they plan to bring it-- as well as Mr. Trump -- back in the same 9 p.m. time slot in thefall.NBC's decision to overturn its "must see" comedy strategy for areality show is only the latest sign that the playbook that hasgoverned prime-time programming since the days of radio is in themidst of its most substantial revision.http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/08/business/media/08TUBE.html
