Joe Otterson TV Reporter CBS is heavily revising its fall 2023 schedule as the effects of Hollywood’s double strike continues to be felt. When CBS originally released their fall schedule back in May, the broadcaster planned on having most of their scripted programming back. But that schedule was released about one week into the writers’ strike. Now, with SAG-AFTRA joining the writers on the picket lines and no end to either strike in sight, CBS is adding a large amount of acquired programming and unscripted shows. To that end, the network is importing a number of shows from within the Paramount ecosystem. Perhaps most notably, the hit series “Yellowstone” will make its broadcast debut on CBS on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT beginning with Season 1. The show originated on Paramount Network, which is owned by Paramount Global, as is CBS.

She was a wonderful woman and a great friend.”

little help from AI — but just a little.Paul McCartney has responded to the speculation about the use of artificial intelligence in the Beatles’ upcoming song.McCartney, 81, told the BBC that “the final Beatles album” will be released later this year — using AI technology to “extricate” John Lennon’s voice from a previously unheard track.“It was a demo that John had that we worked on, and we just finished it up, it’ll be released this year,” he said in his initial announcement on June 12. “We were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI, so then we could mix the record as you would normally do.”With AI being at the center of much concern and debate, many fans jumped to conclusions and assumed that the technology was being used to generate fabricated vocals from the late Lennon.McCartney took to social media to ensure his fans that nothing was fabricated.“Been great to see such an exciting response to our forthcoming Beatles project.
