CBS’s POLICE DRAMA, “FLASHPOINT,” RETURNS ON FRIDAY, MAY 6, 8:00-9:00 PM

FLASHPOINT, a police drama depicting the emotional journey into the risk-filled lives of cops in the Strategic Response Unit, returns to CBS on Friday, May 6 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

FLASHPOINT replaces CHAOS, which will go on hiatus effective immediately but return to the schedule at a later date. CBS will air a rebroadcast of CSI: NY this Friday, April 22 with coverage of the Royal Wedding scheduled for next Friday, April 29.

FLASHPOINT originally premiered in July 2008 and became that summer’s top original scripted series, winning its time period against non-Olympic competition. On Fridays last summer, FLASHPOINT averaged 7.13 million viewers, 1.4/05 in adults 18-49 and 2.1/06 in adults 25-54.

FLASHPOINT stars Hugh Dillon, Enrico Colantoni, Amy Jo Johnson and David Paetkau. Anne Marie La Traverse and Bill Mustos are executive producers for Pink Sky Entertainment and Avamar Entertainment in association with CBS Television Studios.
