Update #1: Well, it's not too crazy of a schedule. Mostly no shockers, but the only mess up I think in the schedule is keeping Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Tuesday, instead of moving it back to Sundays. But I think this is a somewhat better schedule than what NBC put out yesterday. Grade: B-
Update #2: This morning is the NBC Upfronts. I will give the play by play breakdown of what happens. E! Online is doing a Live from the Red Carpet live stream in fifteen minutes.
Update #3: Live stream is on now. Here's the link! http://www.eonline.com/
Update #4: The FOX schedule is not getting good reception on SpottedRatings, on TVBTN, and on SpoilerTV.

Who wants to see that Mr. Robot trailer?ZERO “Carmichael Show” in NBCUni’s comedy reel. Guess they couldn’t afford that deal not going through. #NBCU2016 #Upfronts2016— Daniel Fienberg (@TheFienPrint) May 16, 2016
Update #9: According to the live blog on Deadline:
"CBS appears to have infiltrated NBU’s Upfront presentation, and already has rebutted NBC claims made at the top of this event:
NBC’s #1 claims are all about sports and more specifically, are all about the NFL. Removing just the Super Bowl but including NBC Sunday Night Football for 2015-16 averages is BS. However, If you remove ALL NFL TELECASTS from all networks, we are #1, beating NBC by one-tenth in A18-49, 1.9 vs. 1.8. With the Olympics this summer they are likely to win A18-49 for the 2015-16 broadcast year. However, if you remove all NFL telecasts for all networks for the 2014-15 broadcast year, NBC drops to 3rd place, behind both CBS and ABC."
Update #10: From the Variety Live Blog:
Word is we will hear from new Voice coaches @MileyCyrus & @aliciakeys at NBCU upfront presentation. #Upfronts2016— Cynthia Littleton (@Variety_Cynthia) May 16, 2016
Update #11: Earlier on - Jimmy Fallon opens the show, dressed as Hamilton and singing: Ten shows premiering this fall and the word “Chicago” appears in them all….At least we can say we’re the network that fired Donald Trump.”Josh Holloway of USA's Colony trips over his tongue in his presentation...and then flashes that smile. Sigh. #Upfronts2016— Cynthia Littleton (@Variety_Cynthia) May 16, 2016
Update #12: #NBCU2016 has been trending on Twitter for the past few hours.
Update #13: Grim Reaper is back at it on Twitter.
Obviously, still bitter that CBS news is still MIA. But this is NBCUniversal, the home of failing cable networks E! and Syfy in the ratings department.If Moonves had both CBS & Viacom, he'd be singing the same tune as the other guys.— TV Grim Reaper (@TVGrimReaper) May 16, 2016
Update #14: It's a wrap for NBCUniversal, according to Deadline. We have two hours and thirty minutes until the FOX upfronts. Stay tuned!

Yep, why was APB picked up? I don't know. Also, the Rocky Horror Picture Show is probably being laughed at during the trailer presentation.Yeah, queasiness about the premise of “APB” handily confirmed by the trailer. #FOXUpfronts— Rick Porter (@rickporter) May 16, 2016
