Like aspirin for the post-Comic-Con hangover comes the summer TCA press tour. For a second consecutive year, TCA starts just a day after the end of the sci-fi convention. There will be a slew of panels for shows that will be repeats of those held in San Diego over the past few days: Dr. Who, Grimm, Once Upon a Time, The River, Charlie’s Angels, Ringer, Terra Nova, True Blood, Spartacus: Vengeance, Homeland, Beavis and Butthead. Bob Greenblatt will make his TCA debut as NBC chairman, and new CW president Mark Pedowitz will take the TCA stage for the first time. Also making its TCA debut — gmc (form. Gospel Music Channel), “a channel for uplifting music and family entertainment”, which will have as much presence as cable heavyweights like AMC or Lifetime. Deadline will be there to document all TCA highlights (and lowlights). Here is the schedule:
