“We have about five new shows on this year,” he says. “Of those five, I believe all five of them will be renewed, and we own four of them.”
We have reached out to CBS for clarification: The network introduced five freshman series so far this season — Limitless, Code Black, Life in Pieces, Supergirl and Angel from Hell. Three of them — Limitless, Code Black and Angel from Hell — are owned by CBS. Angel from Hell, has been canceled. Two other shows are debuting this spring — Rush Hour and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. CBS owns Criminal Minds.
I'm just happy about Angel from Hell getting the axe. That was the series from hell.The article in question is referring to another article:

And the actual direct quote from Les Moonves is:
Deadline went on to elaborate:
While it's very likely gonna get renewed, lets wait until it's officially official.
I know it hasn't been doing the same numbers the pilot got on a regular basis, but everything I've read makes it still seem like a renewal is likely.
As a sidebar, I keep wondering when the idea of Jimmy Olsen as a photographer came along. When he was introduced on radio, and then when he was added to the comics, he was a copyboy (an entry-level employee who ran copy from reporters' desks down to the presses and served as a general errand boy/gofer), and he eventually became a cub reporter. Over the years in the comics, he went on to become quite an intrepid reporter in his own right, and he was a cub reporter in the George Reeves TV series. I think, but I'm not sure, that the first depiction of Jimmy as a photographer was in the 1948/50 movie serials with Kirk Alyn; at least, I've found one or two photos online of Tommy Bond's Jimmy holding a camera. (Bond, incidentally, is the only live-action Jimmy Olsen who's actually shared the comics character's red hair, which is a bit ironic since the serials were in black and white.) But I kinda think it was the Christopher Reeve movies that really solidified the idea of Jimmy as a photographer in people's minds.
James is 35.
No one allowing themselves to be called Supergirl would be over 20.
While it's very likely gonna get renewed, lets wait until it's officially official.
You might be right about the general public...but in the 70's (1971) Clark was a news anchor on TV - WGBS (Galaxy Broadcasting)...so the comics well getting into the modern age of media.
At that time, the "cub reporter" was fading away into obscurity, but visual media was taking off. So maybe then?
Jimmy Olsen found himself orphaned and alone at sixteen, supporting himself as a copy boy for the Daily Planet. By eighteen a series of freelance news stories written on speculation earned him the position of "cub reporter." By twenty-one Perry White, the paper's editor, had made him a full member of the Planet staff. Beside being an electronic journalist, now he wrote a feature column for the Planet Newspaper Syndicate three times a week. Somewhere along the line Jimmy picked up a high school diploma from the back of a matchbook, led a South American safari to locate his father who had been sitting in the jungle for years with a form of amnesia induced by malaria, learned to operate every newsgathering gadget from the typewriter to the WGBS-TV newsvan, entered the Guinness Book of Records for being thought killed in the line of duty more times than anyone else in any profession, became world famous, and convinced himself his life was headed absolutely nowhere.
