The Business
Fox's Kevin Reilly Kim Masters talks with Kevin Reilly, the entertainment chairman of Fox Broadcasting, who has made news recently by announcing plans to no longer do pilot season as usual.

Reilly also addresses the failure of Terra Nova, his hopes for a new series from Will Forte and a new big event series Hieroglyph.
