Knight Rider Being Shopped to Advertisers?

Broadcasting Cable ran a story today dealing with NBC's newly announced UpFront Plan. UpFronts are what the TV stations use to introduce the new seasons shows to advertisers. While the majority of the article didn't deal with anything important to Knight Rider fans, the last bit of the article has a quote mentioning Knight Rider by NBC Entertainment co-chair Marc Graboff.

NBC's meetings with advertisers also may not have locked in dates for everything. Graboff said. For example, it may present strategies such as running a show like Heroes without repeats for a spell in the fall, then bringing it back at a certain time later in the year.

"We don't know that this schedule will say, 'On this particular Monday in January 2009 will be the return of Knight Rider,'" Graboff said.

Note, that they aren't saying Knight Rider will be on in January 2009, but rather talking to the fact that their schedule will remain fluid for some time. Still - it's always a good sign to see an Exec name drop Knight Rider.
