‘48 Hours’ ties in with… ‘CSI’?

Steve Safran November 10th, 2006

We’re used to those horrible local news tie-ins during sweeps that stretch credibility (”Coming up… small bikinis at your beach… could it happen here? An Investigative Team Special Report!). Well, here’s a new sweeps twist. The CBS news-ish show 48 Hours is doing a show about a serial killer, and then CBS’s CSI: Miami will incorporate the same killer into its storyline. Clips from CSI will be on the 48 Hours episode.
