Flashpoint update on Wiki if you trust that source says this:
A third season of Flashpoint was to have aired as a midseason replacement during CBS' 2009?2010 schedule, however, CBS announced it would air these episodes during the summer of 2009 beginning on July 17, 2009 instead of its previously announced 2010 timetable. On July 7, 2009, CBS has rescinded its decision, and the show will air at midseason after all.
Sounds like they already have 9 episodes ready to go but will show them around Jan. which might help this show get some ratings.
July show ratings blow.
