'Ghost Whisperer' will shift to 9 p.m. and 'Moonlight' will take a little holiday

For the first time since he took over hosting duties from Bob Barker, Drew Carey is bringing "The Price Is Right" to primetime.

Starting on Friday, Feb. 22, CBS will air six weeks of "Price Is Right" specials in the 8 p.m. ET time period.

As part of a Friday night ripple, "Ghost Whisperer" will shift to the 9 p.m. hour and freshman drama "Moonlight" will go on hiatus rather than entering a repeat cycle.

Things aren't all positive for Carey and CBS. The network has reportedly pulled "Power of 10" from its Wednesday 8 p.m. slot. A summer hit, the game show averaged fewer than four million viewers in its latest airing. The network will air repeats of "The New Adventures of Old Christine."
