Yes it has been renewed. However, according to information that has arrived at my station (we do show it on Saturday night), it is being cut in length to 30 minutes.

/Intriguing.

And I'm betting that it's going to be renewed for three more 6-episode runs after that.

Here's North Carolina's timeline of the contestant drawings.

I was surprised at some of the stations in its station lineup:

New York: WPIX

Los Angeles: KTLA

Chicago: WGN

Impressive stations, all Tribune.

Interesting...WGNT also airs it, and that was taken over by Tribune within the last couple of years.

/Was actually surprised considering Virginia backed out of the MMC lottery game at the eleventh hour

Now celebrating his 21st season on GSF!

Add KTXL, Sacramento to that list of Tribune stations. They must have a deal with the station group.

WPHL (Tribune) in Philadelphia also airs it.

In my home market, it's aired by WGAL, which also airs the lottery drawings. Thought there would be some correlation between "stations who air lottery drawings" and "stations who air MMC" but that is not the case.

It is interesting that it's being cut down to a half hour. Many stations are selling time by the hour. Stations will have to pair MMC with another once-a-week offering, or do a double-run if one is offered, which would be strange.

We might see a lot of MMC being paired with riveting Ronco Food Dehydrator-type programs this fall.

When asked about setting time slots for the two shows, Mr. Popeil said station managers should "Set it and forget it!" (ducking)
