Whitest Kids U Know move to IFC for season two

Well, no wonder I missed this news: it was buried in some Variety article with "R. Kelly" in the title. You might as well slap a "poison" label on a jar of Skippy and expect me to open it. Seriously, people.
Anyway, yes, The Whitest Kids U Know will be heading to IFC for its second season after completing its first season on Fuse, IFC's sister channel. IFC has also acquired rights to the first season of the series. Fans of the series should be happy about this move for two reasons: IFC does not censor anything, and, it's commercial-free. The troupe is currently shooting the second season.
Ugly Betty move shifts two shows off fall schedule
by Joel Keller, posted Aug 10th 2006 3:28PM
Yesterday, when I reported that ABC moved Ugly Betty from Fridays to Thursdays, I wasn't sure of the fate of the two shows it was replacing, Big Day and Notes from the Underbelly (right). According to Richard Huff of the New York Daily News, the two serialized comedies will find a home on the schedule on either Tuesday or Wednesday, after Dancing with the Stars and its results show are done. It's just as well; Underbelly doesn't seem like it has staying power, anyway, and from what I've heard, Big Day isn't that special, either. ABC made the right choice by putting a stronger show in the more high-profile timeslot.So what's going to take Ugly Betty's vacated Friday spot? A second episode of America's Funniest Videos, that's what. So that means this fall we're going to be seeing Tom Bergeron four nights a week, since he hosts both AFV and Dancing. Who knew he'd become the network's next Regis Philbin?

Ted Koppel appears to have landed on his feet after the demise of
Nightline, and yet another figure from that show has also found new employment. This time it's David Marash,
who left Nightline as a correspondent last year. Marash will be the chief anchor and correspondent of
Al-Jazeera International's Washington bureau when the new network launches this spring. Al-Jazeera International will
be a 24-hour news channel. Four hours of each day would be dedicated to news out of Washington, in addition to a
one-hour newscast co-anchored by Marash.TV Squad Hot Topics
