Will There Be a Twenty-Fifth Season of Cops?

Cops is the longest running primetime entertainment program in terms of years and episodes aired, and is tied with Survivor for the most seasons aired.  Will FOX really cancel it?  In April, FOX decided to air sports on Saturday nights, replacing Cops.  In its final two episodes, Cops scored a 1.0, which is substantially worse than how sports has been doing.  However, the sports package s probably much more expensive to maintain than Cops is to produce.

An advantage that Cops has is that it has currently aired (more or less) 993 episodes, leaving it about seven episodes shy of the thousand mark.  I see FOX finding a place to at the very least get to 1,000 episodes.  However, I am not at all certain and will give Cops a 65% chance of renewal.
