Sunday January 10th 11:20amThe network continued the morning with more Q&A sessions. Q: What is the fate of “Dennis Haskins’ Acting Academy” and “Southern Hospitality” A: Both shows are currently on the air and we are very happy with their performance, if we do decide to renew them, they will likely air in the summer at one point. Q: The network canceled 4 veteran series, WHY? A: MSTV has the change to become the #1 network this season, if we can't this season we want to next season, the four shows we are sadly saying goodbye two were aging and their ratings were not as strong as they once were. "The Medical Doctor" was also canceled because of "Jozi-H" and "The International" how many medical series can one network have? Q: MSTV has such a strong news team, do you plan on making a weekely news series? A: It's on our to-do list, we really want, we just don't have a perfect time-slot yet nor can we think of a title, if you have a title please share

Amy Poehler ruined the surprise, but Andy Samberg takes to the stage, he begins by repeating the "My Best Man" synopsis and does say that it is a limited run series and that he now has a pilot in development for next season.
The critics generally like the idea of Andy but aren't so sure of Kenan and his role in the show.

The stage is set is up with multiple chairs and microphones, network executives walk out and introduce a slew of people. Diane Sawyer, Charles Gibson, Katie Couric, David Gregory, Luke Russert, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta take to the stage. This is the highly anticipated MSTV News portion of the tour.
The network executives give a speech on the state of the news department and its future. Each personality (minis Couric) takes for a few seconds.
The network then introduces Katie Couric and welcomes her as the newest member of the MSTV News. Katie's current job is a reporter and lead substitute anchor but they begin to expand on her role in the news department saying Ms Couric will executive produce and co-host "Mommy Mornings" next fall, the show will be a news/talk blend.
Q&A begins with the anchors & reporters.
Q: Charlie, you just started a new show, do you ever want to retire? A: My new show can be hosted by anyone very easily, it is in my contract that once the shows gets off the ground I take a few days off every once in a while, and I hope Katie will be my substitute now.
Q: Diane, do you think you will be getting a new "This Morning" co-host soon? It seems like Keith may move on. A: I enjoy spending my mornings with Keith, and well Al, Hoda, and Julie for that matter. I haven't heard anything about Keith moving on, nor do I know where he would move on to.
Q: Katie, will you continue to be a reporter and substitute when "Mommy Mornings" begin? A: I hope to do a little of both, not likely as much as I will now though.
Q: David, you are the face of the new MSTV weekend, will this lead to a promotion? A: You never know, I like the weekends but Monday through Friday does sound nice too.
Q: Charlie, who is your ultimate guest for Spotlight? A: I have been very happy so far, it has been a mix of news and entertainment, but I wouldn't mind having President Obama, maybe during sweeps.

Jada Pinkett-Smith and Aisha Tyler take the stage, they give everyone a sneak peak at the new series "Audrey's Rain". They mention the date March 7th frequently and answer a few questions from the press. No one is quite sure of the finale, but it really can't top Sanchez's Ipod giveaway.
