The Voice in the fall! Comedy on four weeknights! Community and Whitney on Fridays! Rock Center with Brian Williams somehow still on the air! NBC has just released its fall schedule. (Below).

“We’ve taken a few first steps toward a turnaround over this past season and now we’re seeing a real opportunity to accelerate that process,” said NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt. “We’ve got a lineup of new shows that will really get people to sit up and take notice. And with the Olympics coming this summer and two nights of The Voice in the fall, we’ve also got the tools we need to give our shows the kind of launch they deserve.”

The Voice will not only air in the fall, but will have another spring cycle as well — doubling down on the music competition for the first time and setting the stage for a X Factor vs. The Voice rivalry in a few months (especially if Christina Aguilera returns as a Voice judge and Britney Spears is officially announced as an X Factor judge, as expected). Greenblatt told reporters on a conference call Sunday that he also plans to add the ever-popular spinning chairs from the audition phase into the battle rounds, though wouldn’t reveal further details on that change.

Asked about the fate of NBC’s returning comedies, Greenblatt said that, contrary to what’s been widely reported, this is not necessarily the final season of 30 Rock. In fact, none of the NBC comedies, including the modestly rated titles picked up for only 13 episodes, are automatically going into their final season. “As they age [ordering a final season is] something you look at each year, but we haven’t definitively said that to any of them yet,” Greenblatt said.
