From Dow Jones business news:
Gail Berman, the Fox Network entertainment president, said '24' was the fifth-highest rated program on television, and announced that Fox would renew the program for a third season.
"By making the pickup now, we can give the producers ample time to go complete the course of the season, and plant the seeds for the next one," she said. Ms. Berman said the show would retain its 24-hour concept, but declined to confirm if series star Keifer Sutherland would return.
"That could potentially give away a story line, and I'm not into doing that," she said.
UPDATE: The statement is covered at zap2it.com. Don't worry, there's no storyline spoilers on the page.
UPDATE UPDATE: The ol' faithful Guardian covers the zap2it.com coverage of the statement at guardian.co.uk. Face it, their stories pop up so often at this site, you should be able to guess the URLs by now.
