‘Contender’ to face ‘Makeover’

NBC, facing a tough season in the ratings, is tinkering with its prime-time schedule.

“The Contender,” the long-awaited boxing reality show from Sylvester Stallone and producer Mark Burnett, will air at 8 p.m. Sundays starting March 13, the network announced Monday. It will square off against the ABC hit “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

To make way for “Contender,” the low-rated ‘60s drama “American Dreams” will move to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, opposite another popular ABC show, “Lost.”
