The New York Times notes Dateline NBC is back on the schedule - if only for one night, to sub in for an episode of Life. Life isn’t dead according to NBC - but analysts think its future looks bleak. Peacock Productions staffers have been told to get ready to crank out three new episodes of Dateline each week after the new year to help fill the NBC schedule of the WGA strike drags on.

Anybody who works at a West Coast NBC station knows Dateline is still around on Sunday nights. It’s providing the same crummy lead-in to the late news that NBC’s dramas provide during the week.

Meanwhile, Media Life Magazine is reporting that Life has received a full-season pickup. Who to believe? My money is on Media Life.
