CBShas canceled cop dramaEast New York, starring Amanda Warren, after one season.
East New YorkandS.W.A.T.were believed to be competing for one slot.
Both come from outside studios, and both are rare broadcast dramas with Black leads.

WhileS.W.A.T.is older and more expensive, it also has a proven track record.
Its established fan base and solid ratings performance factored into the final decision, I hear.
Also canceled todaywas the last remaining CBS bubble series, dramaTrue Lies.
Finkelstein, Flynn, Michael M. Robin, Ed Redlich served as executive producers.
Also executive producing was former top CBS programming executive Thom Sherman who had developed the series.
