NBC

NBC is making some changes to its September/October slate. The Weakest Link will now premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 29 from 8-9 p.m. and stay in that timeslot for three weeks until it moves to Mondays beginning Oct. 19 where it will air at 10 p.m. following The Voice. In addition to airing Fridays beginning Sept. 25 as previously announced, Dateline NBC will continue to air Mondays at 10 p.m. from Sept. 21 through Oct. 12 following American Ninja Warrior (and Dateline will also air Thursdays 9-11pm in early October and then at 10pm in November when SVU returns). This change for Weakest Link/Dateline on Mon/Tues is due to the potential NHL Stanley Cup Finals altering the schedule. Stanley Cup Finals could start Sep. 21. One other note, the season premiere of Ellen's Game of Games will air from 9-10 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 6, instead of back-to-back episode premieres, as previously announced. And finally, the season finale of America's Got Talent will air from 9-11 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23 following an AGT Recap at 8pm.
