With everyone else already cashing out,SCNis the only network still in play this Season. There are fewer than 4 cards remaining on the board, so the standard deadline of 24 hours applies.

Season 1 Finale
Well done on getting through the first Season! Every network has at least one new Show, which should be a good building block to get those ratings. Let's go through each network to gauge how many Viewers and income everyone's accrued for themselves.
As the next Season approaches, the Shows in every network ages. The Reruns have done their jobs and will now be retired to the Archives. And lastly, the new turn order, which is going in the ascending order of Viewers. Here's how every network is looking ahead of Season 2:

Audrey goes a little crazy preparing for Stevie's first birthday, and even visits the hairdresser. Sophie has an announcement.
For Seasons 2 and 3, there's a pool of 16 Shows of which 7 are drawn per Season, leaving 2 unused. Of those 16, there are 2 Reality Shows, 2 Sports Shows, and 3 each of the other 4 Genres.
Also, starting from this Season, there are Network cards, and it's now possible to start scoring Genre Bonuses! Look out for both of those. Let's see the board:

First Show of the new Season forSirius9121:

pay $2m +$3mper Season

Live from Mount Mountainyama,RIOTairs, with portions funded byAmerican Samurai Worrier!Punxsutawney Pizza and Subs
8pmmight be a bit too early for the Sports crowd, so it won't receive its maximum potential for its first Season. The Show costs$2mto develop and a hefty$3mupkeep, but is offset slightly by the Ad's$1mdeal and a slot for one more. All these might be worth it for the reliable viewership!
However, that means the informativewill be pushed back to Reruns.Know That Rash!

As for me, I'll develop Pulleyage for my 10PM slot, starring the Intense Dramatic Actor, and with a Reflux Orange Juice ad.
This should give me a genre bonus for Drama - I'll take the Ads, please~"Dammit Felissan, making someone lose the game is NOT NICE"- DeathRowKitty 2016

StrangerCougis also having his first Show of Season 2:
The Cubicle
pay $5m, no upkeep
8pm ⬩ ⭮ 3 ⬩Star+Ad⭗9/ 41081★Delusional Singer⭗1110$Persnickety Pizza
earn $2m +$2m/$1mper Season
cond: Show is at 9pm
Tonight onSCN, join theas they turn 9-to-5 mundanity into comedy inDelusional Singer, sponsored byThe Cubicle!Persnickety Pizza
Placed on the8pmslot, this would bring in lots of Viewers for their hour of Sitcoms. The tall development price of$5mmight put a damper on the network's immediate plans (leaving it with no money, no less!), but with no upkeep and a$1mincome from the Ad, it might prove more profitable in the long run.
Another Show faces the chopping block, and it's the turn ofto be moved to Reruns.Let's Pickle!
Looks likeFelissanis starting right off as well!
FLSbrings tales of deception and payback in, starring a household name, thePulleyage, with a splash of product placement done byIntense Dramatic Actor.Reflux Orange Juice
Late-night Viewers would be keen on tuning in at10pm. The expense of the Star is nullified with the Ad deal, so it only needs to cover the initial development cost of$5m.
The Show leaving prime time is, to the detriment of dairy grillers across the nation.Grilling With Milk
Three consecutive turns with a Show taken each time. What happens now?

Closing the Season premiere would beTPN.
