CBS has confirmed that it will air The Amazing Race 5 during the summer of 2004, beginning on July 6, as it originally planned. Thus, CBS chairman Les Moonves’ trial balloon regarding the possibility of delaying TAR5 for the CBS fall schedule, which he trotted out during the network’s “upfront” presentations in May, has been punctured.

Yay! More confirmation. And tomorrow, the cast bios go live.
