2012–13 United States network television schedule
2012 in American television | 2013 in American television |
List of American television shows currently in production |
The 2012–13 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers primetime hours from September 2012 through May 2013. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2011–2012 season.
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 13, 2012,[1] followed by Fox on May 14, 2012,[2] then ABC on May 15, 2012,[3] CBS on May 16, 2012,[4] and The CW on May 17, 2012.[5]
MyNetworkTV is not included in this listing, due to its prime time lineup consisting primarily of reruns. Prime time schedules for Ion Television are also not included as it is similar in scheduling, except with the inclusion of two series from Canadian broadcast network CTV to which Ion has U.S. broadcast rights to first-run episodes. PBS is also not included, since the network's member stations schedule PBS programs as they see fit without a rigid schedule.
