A couple of big bits of Lost news came across the wire a few minutes ago.

First, BuddyTV reports about several radio interviews that Lost producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof have been giving, specifically indicating a potential air-time and maybe even air-date change.

Both men agreed that while the time slot had allowed them to be a little more risqué with their on screen sex and violence, it had ultimately degraded the family viewing experience and was not doubt responsible for the dip in ratings.  It was a safe bet, according to Cuse, that the show would be changing its air day and time and that an announcement would come soon.  

Then, eOnline says that a ‘very well placed source’ reports that ABC will confirm that the show will end after two more seasons.  Cuse and Lindelof have said repeatedly that two more seasons would allow them to wrap up the saga smoothly.  I’m glad to see that both the network and creators are happy with having a finite endpoint to the show, rather than dragging it out and having it fade into obscurity.

We’ll find out some more solid info at the ABC upfront on May 15.
