ABC has finally announced Lost's definate timeslot for the upcoming season, and it's not the one we're all used to. Lost will be returning at 9.00 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 31.
The network's planning seems to be more and more geared towards working around the WGA strike. With only one Grey's Anatomy episode left and the situation with the strike still unresolved, ABC plans to put Lost in the Grey's timeslot, where it will have less competition with other primetime shows (such as American Idol). Fans will no longer have to keep themselves awake until 11:00 to see the endings, though those DVRs will probably be put to good use.
Starting in February, the Thursday lineup will look like this:
8:00 p.m. "Ugly Betty"
9:00 p.m. "Lost"
10:00 p.m. "Eli Stone"
