A man has dreams of walking with giants,
to carve his niche in the edifice of time.
Before the mortar of his zeal
has a chance to congeal
the cup is dashed from his lips,
the flame is snuffed aborning.

 we're about to air CSI.
 "CSI is (about) to be aired" credo sia la più usata.

Giò


 sia meno usata :-)))
no, ti ho semplicemente quotato l'altra frase per errore (anche se corretta,
eh) volevo sottolineare
che eravamo giunti alla stessa conclusione, mea culpa :)

"csi is about to be broadcasted" č sbagliata del tutto o non suona bene 
ma in teoria si puņ dire?

 ma in teoria si può dire?
In quel caso avrei detto "CSI is about to be broadcasted on tv"
oppure "CSI is about to be broadcasted on air"

 "CSI is (about) to be aired" credo sia la piů usata.
Non e' piu' usata "CSI is about to air"? O al limite "CSI is airing in a 
few minutes"?

Although the past participle of "to broadcast" can be either
"broadcast" or "broadcasted", "broadcast" is much more common in the
US. In fact, I would say that "broadcasted" is extremely rare, and
just doesn't sound right to me. I think it is probably rare in the UK
also.
CSI airs at nine tonight.
CSI goes on the air at nine.
CSI is about to go on the air.
CSI is about to be broadcast.

I've never heard it before - I didn't even know it existed. I suspect it
doesn't, outside of dictionaries.

...and on the Internet, where anything is possible!
There are even a few "casted pearls before swine" on the Internet,
probably broadcast by the same people who used "broadcasted".
