When Battlestar Galactica goes on hiatus over the holidays, it will not be returning to its current Friday at 10:00 PM slot, instead it will be airing on Sunday’s at 10:00 PM, this according to TV Guide.

The series has suffered from declined ratings to the tune of about 25% comparing the same frame of episodes last season and Sci Fi is hoping to attract more of an audience on a night which has many more tv viewers watching.

The first scheduled episode in the time slot will occur January 21st.

The nationally televised NFL game on Sunday between the Cowboys and previously undefeated Colts from 4:30 PM to 7:15 PM earned a 15.8/29 household rating and share.

That is good enough for the highest-rated NFL game on any network this season, and best for CBS since a week 17 contest between the Colts and Broncos back in 2004, which earned a 16.1/27 household rating and share.

So far this season, CBS is pacing about 3 percent ahead of the same frame last year, averaging a 11.1/23 household rating.

News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said today that the company has pulled the publication and two-part televised interview which would have had Simpson discussing how he would have killed his wife and her friend if he did it.

Murdoch said, “I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson.”
