The event, created as a way to incorporate fans into the annual upfront week of network presentations to Madison Avenue ad buyers, is an attempt to help the network break through the clutter and expose new programming early to get a jump-start on building buzz that could make or break a show come the crowed fall schedule.
Those admitted to the New York event Monday will see stars from the network’s yet-to-be-announced new shows as well as returning hits, The Following, New Girl, The X Factor, The Mindy Project, Bones, Glee, Raising Hope and American Idol.
