May 08, 2008 Marred in double-digit ratings declines, the broadcast networks probably can't wait for the strike-impacted 2007-08 season to be over. For the Peacock, launching a fall lineup right after its presentation of the Olympics closing ceremony Aug. 24 makes sense -- sluicing viewers right into such returning hits as "The Biggest Loser" and "The Office." [...] an early rollout also would benefit NBC's rivals, which could pick up some of the viewers drawn to broadcast TV by the Olympics.
