Broadcast Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Starting March 31st,\u00a0NCIS<\/em>\u00a0will air Monday through Friday at 6 PM and 7 PM Eastern\/Pacific on H&I. This consistent time slot allows viewers to enjoy back-to-back episodes during the early evening hours.<\/p>\n

Episode Progression<\/strong><\/h3>\n
