Fall TV: Fox Sets Premiere Dates Leading Off With X Factor and Glee, Touch Gets Late Start
On the heels of NBC revealing its own roll-out schedule for the 2012-13 TV season, Fox has now come forth to detail its own game plan.
A two-night launch for the revamped X Factor (now with Britney Spears and Demi Lovato) kicks things off on Sept. 12, followed by Glee‘s return in its shiny new Thursdays-at-9 time slot. Kiefer Sutherland’s Touch brings up the rear, holding its sophomore premiere until just before Halloween.
