Regarding VPR pausing for filming. In addition to what you shared Evolution has four hit shows now and it’s one at a time outside of brief picks up shoots. So if BH is giving it might be sooner but sometimes BH takes a full four months and BH is the number one show, so a priority.
Some of this is just scheduling and patterns. Plus we can’t forget NBC Universal has the Olympics in July which is almost a full month of live programming.
