ÿÿ 4 Popular NBC TV Shows Canceled After Major Strategy Shift
ÿÿ ----------------------------------------------------------
ÿÿ Four NBC TV shows are being canceled as the network is making
ÿÿ a major strategy shift.
ÿÿ NBCUniversal has opted to no longer produce first-run
ÿÿ syndicated TV programming. This decision comes after it was
ÿÿ previously announced that The Kelly Clarkson Show, the
ÿÿ syndicated daytime talker that has run for seven seasons, is
ÿÿ coming to an end.
ÿÿ What four NBC TV shows have been canceled?
ÿÿ As a result of this strategy shift, four first-run syndicated
ÿÿ NBC TV shows have been canceled: Access Hollywood, Access Live,
ÿÿ The Steve Wilkos Show, and Karamo.
ÿÿ "NBCUniversal is making changes to our first-run syndication
ÿÿ division to better align with the programming preferences of
ÿÿ local stations," Frances Berwick, who is the chairman of Brave
ÿÿ & Peacock unscripted for NBCUniversal, said in a statement.
ÿÿ "The company will remain active in the distribution of our
ÿÿ existing program library and other off-network titles, while
ÿÿ winding down production of our first-run shows. These shows
ÿÿ have provided audiences with great talk and entertainment
ÿÿ content for many years and we're very proud of the teams behind
ÿÿ them."
ÿÿ Per Deadline, The Steve Wilkos Show and Karamo have both
ÿÿ completed production on their current seasons, while Access
ÿÿ Hollywood and Access Live will "wind down at the end of the
ÿÿ summer."
ÿÿ The article continues, "New episodes ofÿThe Steve Wilkos Show
ÿÿ andÿKaramoÿwill continue to air through the summer. It is
ÿÿ unclear whetherÿAccess Hollywood/Access Liveÿwould be kept as
ÿÿ digital brands. The move is expected to result in layoffs, both
ÿÿ in terms of crew of the sunsetted show and NBCU first-run
ÿÿ executives.
ÿÿ "...Once a financial bonanza riding the wave of daytime mega
ÿÿ hits such asÿThe Oprah Winfrey Show, the first-run syndication
ÿÿ business has been struggling for most of the past decade as
ÿÿ linear viewership has been plummeting in the streaming era.
ÿÿ Local stations, the buyers of syndicated product, have largely
ÿÿ shunned first-run syndicated fare in favor of local news or
ÿÿ would only take those programs in on a barter basis, declining
ÿÿ to pay license fees."
ÿÿ The very first episode of Access Hollywood aired in September
ÿÿ 1996, meaning the show has been on for nearly 30 years. Karamo
ÿÿ has been on since 2022, while The Steve Wilkos Show first aired
ÿÿ in 2007. Access Live, also known as Access Hollywood Live and
ÿÿ Access Daily, debuted in 2010.
