BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Spring will be the new fall in this strike-struck year of television, a forecast made clear in Monday morning comments from Kevin Reilly, president of entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Co. Acknowledging that because of the writers strike — which started last November and ended in February — Fox will have only two new shows debuting this fall, Reilly said that the network will have a lot of new shows premiering in January by default.
But that's good, really, the executive went on to explain, because the strike and its consequences are just forcing Fox to change and adapt in ways that an evolving media marketplace and shifting viewer habits would have forced on the networks anyway.
