Today as it was first reported by Wall Street Journal media reporter, Joe Flint, on twitter that the NBC Thursday series "Aquarius" and "Hannibal" are moving to Saturdays. TVLine.com has confirmed the report.
Since Hannibal was recently cancelled, it makes sense to burn off the rest of the episodes has it did with "Smash." But it doesn't quite make any with "Aquarius" as it was picked up for a second season.
Flint also reported that the reason for the changes is that the "appease (NBC) affiliates not happy with their numbers."
When "Aquarius" premiered in May, it averaged 5.7 million in total with a 1.0 rating. By it's most recent July 3rd episode, the numbers had sink to 2.4 million/0.4.
"Dateline Thursday Mysteries" will take over the 9/11pm time slot that was once held by Aquarius and Hannibal stating this Thursday. With "Aquarius" airing Saturdays a 9/8c then followed by "Hannibal" at 10/9c.
