The reports of my cancellation have been greatly exaggerated
Per Diane English via Twitter:
Murphy Brown fans. We are NOT CANCELED!!!!! Several entertainment sites read a mid season schedule put out by CBS that did not have our show on it and the assumption was made that we were not renewed. Our order, at our request was 13 eps. We look forward to a second season.

Calm down, Murphsters. The sky isn't falling. Notice that the show has better ratings than S.W.A.T., which appeared on the mid season schedule. Don't believe everything you read.
