Joy Behar will be taking a little time to enjoy... England. Joy will take the next 2 weeks away from The View to vacation in Paris & London, and perform for her play My First Ex-Husband on the West End. Sheryl Underwood, Kara Swisher and Monday/Friday co-host Ana Navarro will fill in for her next week, and Whoopi will fill in on the next 2 Fridays. She'll still appear on The Weekend View as it is usually pretaped in advance. https://deadline.com/2026/05/joy-behar-time-off-the-view-sheryl-underwood-guest-co-host-1236928738/

MS Now's new(est) shows on the weekday schedule starts June 15: https://deadline.com/2026/05/ms-now-new-lineup-stephanie-ruhle-1236900859/

Bumping: CW will expand its broadcasts of the Savannah Bananas, with six games on the network starting May 10: https://www.cwtvpr.com/the-cw/shows/the-savannah-bananas/releases/?view=102114-the-cw-network-to-broadcast-six-banana-ball-games-during-the-2026-season This is just like what the NWA was doing back in 2024 on The CW app. But considering the big bang-up ratings it's doing for the net, CW makes much much sense and is the completely better platform for NXT's PLEs than Peacock.

Okay...

Here's an article you can actually read: https://www.reuters.com/business/iheartmedia-holds-merger-talks-with-sirius-xm-bloomberg-news-reports-2026-04-24/ I don't know what to say about this, but this M&A thing is getting out of hand.

Confirmed by the network. He's also breaking news anchor and chief national correspondent as well as representing for the network on other Versant networks including during sports.

They may as well bring back sitcoms in the afternoons.

I grew up watching Access Hollywood and Steve Wilkos since I was very young. Now to see them (and more) ending later this year is a big bummer.

The Drew Barrymore Show has been renewed for season seven...and eight. https://deadline.com/2026/03/the-drew-barrymore-show-renewed-season-7-8-1236747335/

Executive Producer Shawna Thomas is leaving. https://deadline.com/2026/03/shawna-thomas-leaves-cbs-mornings-executive-producer-1236744712/

He was. And today.

Sounds like a missed opportunity to revive (Women's) Wide World of Sports.

Court TV was sold by Scripps to Dan Abrams' Law & Crime. https://deadline.com/2026/02/court-tv-acquired-by-dan-abrams-law-and-crime-1236713288/

That's sad. I enjoy it every time I watch. I've been to a few 30 Rock tapings (and a virtual one at Universal City during COVID) [& will go the last time later this month!] & had fun each time. I wish Kelly, her staff and her band Y'all all the best in the future. https://deadline.com/2026/02/the-kelly-clarkson-show-end-7-seasons-1236706634/

As someone who went to tapings of Live (3 times) and The View (multiple times), and saw inside WABC's streetside studio each time (including once when I waved to two female anchors [and they waved back to me]), this really breaks my heart.

No, the left didn't forget. The left knew people voted for this. And people voted for it because they wanted the left to suffer (so who's demonizing who?). Yet they never realized they'll be suffering too. Now that they are (more than the left), they don't want it anymore. But yeah, people did vote for it. And people will vote for it again (you know...after they forget).

PBS News Weekend wrapped on Sunday:

Adriana Diaz and Kelly O'Grady will anchor the revamped CBS Saturday Morning starting on the 10th. Both also alternate co-hosting duties on 24/7's Mornings with Vladimir Duthiers. https://deadline.com/2026/01/cbs-saturday-morning-hosts-adriana-diaz-kelly-o-grady-1236677342/

Thank Christ I turned it off. I'd rather watch my first colonoscopy in progress.

The last logo was very good. This would look decent if the network's name matched in font.

Not that I know of yet.

Inside Edition's national correspondent Megan Alexander will leave after 17 years. https://deadline.com/2025/12/inside-edition-correspondent-megan-alexander-leaves-1236645146/

As a TNA fan since 2017, this is to me the most exciting news. AMC is the most high-profile network for TNA programming since Spike (maybe even more due to its own programming and their individual and collective quality). I never did think AMC would pick up Impact, as it is known as a network airing movies and prestige TV dramas. I thought The CW would sign on due to its prominence in news reports, already picking up WWE NXT and its large investment in live sports. But hearing AMC gave the strongest offer, it makes a lot of sense and still is great to hear. I wish TNA and AMC all of the best in their new partnership.

It's confirmed. Tony Dokopil is the next anchor. He will start on January 5. https://deadline.com/2025/12/tony-dokoupil-cbs-evening-news-anchor-1236643230/
