TheRolyPoly 3510 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I know, but still... it still looked like a program that could keep going, but yeah, if they don't pay those bills, then yeah. 1

If this is true, pretty much KSAZ (FOX Phoenix) daytime sydnicated programming has been gutted out with Sherri, Kelly Clarkson, & Jennifer Hudson out. Might as well if it happens move FOX 10 Talks airing on KUTP over to KSAZ or extend morning show AZAM. Edited February 9 by NYAZSporty
MediaZone4K 2661 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) Not sure if this is posted already but WNYW's "6'Clock News" has expanded to a full hour. If I recall correctly, Family Feud was on at 6:30pm, it's now been pushed to 11:30 PM as "Family Feud Favorites". Edited February 19 by MediaZone4K 1
nathannah 2792 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 This isn't really syndicated in the traditional sense, but Gray's new Aging Untold series for 50+ers starts on Monday on their stations, and its weekday carriage will cause a domino effect of stations removing programming (or cut into an existing Local News Live hour) to carry it. Article and station list/schedule
Action Newsroom 1376 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 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/ 1
Glimmer 340 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 NBCUniversal getting out of first run syndication; Access Hollywood, Steve Wilkos, Karamo and Access Live to end after this season 1
GodfreyGR 812 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 So does someone else pick up the production of some of these shows? Access Hollywood and Wilkos have to have some life left in them, don't they? 2 1
JacobFL 5 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 This is a setback for Access Hollywood viewers. The show takes us back to the Pat O’Brien and Nancy O’Dell hosting era and it’s a huge loss for syndicated television and episodes will continue through September. 2
Georgie56 3661 Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 (edited) Well, looks like NBC O&Os (except KNSD, who has the Sony Fun Hour) will be launching hour-long 7pm/6pm newscasts this fall. And they need to figure out what's gonna replace Access Daily and Clarkson, too. Access Hollywood ending is a total stunner. It's like syndication finally flatlined this year.

phillynewslover 166 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) Well, this is disappointing. Definitely not a good sign for syndication (though it's not like it's been thriving up until this very moment). Has Tamron been renewed yet? Other than her, this only leaves Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Hudson, and Live with Kelly and Mark for next year. Also, I just realized that this must mean that P!nk replacement for Kelly Clarkson must not be happening. Edited March 13 by phillynewslover

TheRolyPoly 3510 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 This means, WTVJ Miami will have the following gaps (others may have similar gaps as well)... 11am first run and 2:30am repeat (Kelly Clarkson) 1pm (Access Daily) 7:30pm first run and 3:30am repeat (Access Hollywood) I can see NBC O&Os expanding their midday news to an hour again (except for WRC and WCAU which already do an hour) while shifting their lifestyle shows to earlier or later times. 1

The Deadline article mentioned NBCU is the first to rip the band aid off, but won't be the last.
Action Newsroom 1376 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 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. 1

I don't see the other O&Os expanding to an hour at 11. The second half is their pay to play lifestyle show like NY Live. It is followed by NBC News whatever (the streaming feed) and a Deadline repeat. It does leave a 2 hour gap in the middle of the afternoon (AH live and Kelly Clarkson's hour) but I'm not sure another repackaged version of the news is the right move, especially if they end up with a full hour from 7-8 pm. We'll probably won't know the plans until late summer. 2 1
Action Newsroom 1376 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 (edited) They may as well bring back sitcoms in the afternoons. Edited March 13 by Action Newsroom 3

tyrannical bastard 4676 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Or they could take a page out of the FOX O&Os and start putting virtual podcasts on TV.... When you have an entire half hour show devoted to "Here's what we're working on for Fox (#) News at (time) like WPWR in Chicago does at 8:30...

The FOX O&Os will need to replace "Sherri," so we may be seeing more of that. Or they could just bring "The Jason Show" to the entire group. 1

Please. We already have those and other cop shows on Ion and as part of NotMy. We don't need even more repeats of them.
nickp 393 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Steve Wilkos never changed his format It was the same thing for 19 years That's not a bad thing! 1

Especially since Passions was cancelled NBC's 2pm hour has been a revolving door. You know it's bad when Dateline reruns -- something you would expect from a My Network TV or CW -- is airing on NBC stations in the daytime, especially in O&Os like New York. What are some stations going to do at 7:30 PM et/pt? What's left? do a second run or re-broadcast of their lifestyle shows at 7:30? Expand O&O 7 PM newscasts to a full hour?
