    Actually, it's not untitled, it's "More as this Story Develops" and I was pretty sure it would be picked up.

    I think (according to TV Line) it was originally called More as the Story Develops but it's changing :)

    it's a press release by HBO so if it that title were true I think they would have put it in there :P

    Anyone else think this may be similar to Sports Night?? Feels to me kind of like the same premise except its in a newsroom and not a comedy.

    Alright then, I guess 'More as this Story Develops' was a working title then. But to me it looked like that would be the definite title. Doesn't matter in the end.

    This one will fail like Studio 60 did, because this looks to be a rehash of that failed idea. I don't think an HBO T&A approach will help this in any way.

    Anything that has Sorkin's name on it gets at least one viewing from me. Still miss West Wing and Studio 60. 
    And Stickoxydal is right. It's been titled "More as this story develops".
