NBC, scrambling to get out of last place among the four broadcast TV networks, rolls the dice with 12 new shows while bringing back some long-running series for its 2011-2012 schedule.

26.5 million Canadians watched some part of the game as it aired live on nine TV networks nationwide in eight languages.

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, sitting with Brooke Burke, gives his reasons why he believes TV networks should start charging for their content.

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that federal regulators have the authority to clamp down on broadcast TV networks that air isolated cases of profanity, known as "fleeting expletives."

TV network executives are scrambling for ways to diversify revenue streams in a time when Hulu and Youtube seem to be thriving.

"Looking to tap new revenue through online ads, attract new viewers and keep loyal fans, broadcast networks are making bigger, riskier bets on Internet delivery of their shows.

The challenge is to grow viewership online without cannibalizing traditional ratings and DVD sales while making more money on programming seen on the Web."
