===CBS (1997β1999)=== The ratings for ''Unsolved Mysteries'' had been steadily declining ever since it was moved from its original Wednesday evening timeslot to [[Friday night death slot|Friday evenings]] in the fall of 1994. At the end of the 1996β97 season, it was canceled by NBC. Upon the cancelation from NBC, CBS picked up the series for a tenth season. The first episode aired in November 1997 as an ''Unsolved Mysteries'' special. When CBS canceled its [[CBS Block Party|Block Party]] line-up in the spring of 1998, the network moved the show to its Friday 9:00 pm timeslot. During the show's run on CBS, the series was limited to only six-episode seasons, and was airing only on a sporadic schedule. Reruns aired during the summer of 1998 with heavy promotion of the return of the [[NFL on CBS]] with the upcoming 1998 NFL season. When the series returned for its abbreviated 11th season in the spring of 1999, Stack was joined by actress [[Virginia Madsen]] for hosting duties in an attempt to boost its female audience.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://truecrimefactor.com/2017/02/10/true-crime-factor-interview-john-cosgrove/|title=True Crime Factor Interview: John Cosgrove|date=February 10, 2017|access-date=January 8, 2018|archive-date=January 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180109180913/https://truecrimefactor.com/2017/02/10/true-crime-factor-interview-john-cosgrove/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The effort failed, and CBS canceled the show soon afterwards. Later cable reruns of segments originally narrated by Madsen were re-dubbed with Stack's voice.
