'Glee' moves to Thursdays, 'Touch' to Fridays in Fox's 2012 lineup

Glee is to move to Thursday nights in the fall, Fox has confirmed.

The musical drama's fourth season will air at 9pm, initially following The X Factor USA and later American Idol.



The slot has previously been filled by Kiefer Sutherland's Touch, which will now transmit on Fridays at 8pm, leading into the final season of Fringe.

Fox is also launching a new comedy block on Tuesday nights, comprising Raising Hope, new sitcom Ben & Kate (formerly Ned Fox Is My Manny), season two of New Girl and another new series The Mindy Project.

The Goodwin Games - a comedy from the creators of How I Met Your Mother - will launch on Tuesdays at midseason.

Meanwhile, veteran drama Bones will remain on Monday nights at 8pm, followed by new thriller The Mob Doctor.

Kevin Bacon drama The Following - created by Vampire Diaries exec Kevin Williamson - will then replace The Mob Doctor at midseason.
