NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on April 2, 2008,[1] followed by ABC and The CW on May 13,[2][3] CBS on May 14,[4] Fox on May 15,[5] and MyNetworkTV on May 22.
[7] PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcasts times for network shows may vary.
Ion Television is also not included since the network's schedule consisted mainly of syndicated reruns and movies.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows released in May 2009 is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
