Some of the nominees have been announced for the upcoming Teen Choice 2012 awards.

CSI: New York’s Hill Harper (Dr Sheldon Hawkes) celebrates his birthday today, May 17. The actor was born on this day in 1966.

CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler explained the decision to cancel CSI: Miami at the CBS upfronts on Wednesday morning. The network had to choose between Miami and fellow spinoff CSI: New York, and Tassler said budgets and ratings were not the deciding factor. “They were very close, looking at them forensically, they were very close,” she revealed.

“It was a very tough choice,” Tassler said. It ultimately came down to which series was a better fit for the new CBS schedule; CSI: NY’s New York setting helped make the decision, allowing the network to have three hours of Big Apple-based programming on Friday nights. “We liked the idea of moving The Mentalist to Sundays,” Tassler explained, and it “made more sense to keep CSI: NY in its original timeslot.” As CSI Files previously reported, New York has been moved to 8:00pm ET/PT on Fridays, and the new series Made in Jersey will take over the 9:00pm ET/PT timeslot leading into Blue Bloods at 10:00pm ET/PT.

CSI Files previously reported that only CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: New York would be back in the fall, and CBS has now revealed the primetime schedule for the 2012-2013 season. CSI will remain on Wednesdays at 10:00pm ET/PT, but CSI: New York will air an hour earlier at 8:00pm ET/PT on Fridays. The new legal drama Made in Jersey will take over the 9:00pm ET/PT timeslot between CSI: NY and Blue Bloods. Jersey is another New York-based series, starring Janet Montgomery as “a smart first-year lawyer with working-class roots practicing at a prestigious Manhattan law firm.” The Mentalist will move to Sunday nights, replacing CSI: Miami in the 10:00pm ET/PT timeslot.

There is good news and bad news for fans of the CSI franchise today, as CBS has revealed the fate of the two spinoffs. CSI Files previously reported that the network has decided to end CSI: Miami after ten seasons, choosing to cancel the more expensive series in favor of the younger, cheaper-to-produce CSI: New York. Gary Sinise (Mac Taylor) and the rest of the New York crew will be back in the fall for a ninth season, joining CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which was previously renewed for season thirteen.

CSI: Miami has been cancelled after a ten season run.

A CBS statement said: “CSI: Miami leaves an amazing television legacy – a signature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS’s rise to the top over the past decade. We thank all the producers – led by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ann Donahue — and its talented cast, led by David Caruso, for 10 outstanding seasons.”
