FOR YEARS, NBC WAS THE master of the Thursday domain. Then, CBS loaded up with "Survivor" and "CSI" and pulled ahead in the venerated 18-to-49 demo. Last season, ABC moved smash "Grey's Anatomy" to the night--the latest sign of how much networks covet success there with all those dollars from movie advertisers, automakers and retailers looking for a weekend lift.

But it isn't just the broadcasters making a play for those revenues anymore--cable is honing in on the lucrative night.

TLC President, Angela Shapiro-Mathes, announced that the network will partner with Jennifer Lopez who will co-create, co-executive produce, and star in a new docu-series. Jennifer Lopez is an international star who has conquered the worlds of music, fashion, and film.  Now TLC will deliver a slice of her life that audiences have never seen before, as she takes on her career and launches a new fragrance while trying to juggle her new responsibilities as a first time mom.

WHILE MANY TV NETWORKS HAVE gone smaller in their upfront presentations this year, Discovery Networks unveiled a slew of upcoming TV series in a massive series of announcements.

Several new shows from the mothership Discovery Channel will continue to seek the drama in some dangerous jobs--made famous by the success of its "Deadliest Catch" series, which features the treacherous waters of the Bering Sea that fisherman face in their effort to catch Alaska King Lobster.
