Steve Harvey show getting cancelled?

C

CurtisNEPA

Don't know if this is true or not but I read an article that the rebooted Steve Harvey's daytime show is about to be cancelled after this season and is expected to be replaced by Kelly Clarkson when her show debuts next year. No explanation was given for this possible outcome but from what I heard, their ratings were not as good than his previous incarnation.

As for Kelly Clarkson, the trend of new talk shows just lasting for two seasons is a worrying trend for syndicators. Despite shows like Dr. Phil and Wendy Williams getting good ratings, the future of daytime talk is in doubt, and possibly within the next couple of years, they would be extinct from syndication altogether.

Perhaps look for daytime talk shows to be on Netflix or Hulu pretty soon.....

daytime talk has already moved to Nosey App though but its viewership numbers isn't as big as OTA TV, Hulu, Youtube and Netflix though. Also the Daytime talk has to contend with Youtube hosts and Cable host at the same time though.
 
Nosey has a combination of classic game shows from Buzzr and "classic" episodes from daytime talk shows, although a big part of it is trash talk and to me doesn't qualify as classic.
 
I would think, at some point, he'd cut some work from his routine. How many shows does he have now? 4? Plus radio?
 
Little Big Shots, Family Feud, his morning show on the radio, last year he did New Year's Eve for Fox...and don't forget the infamous Miss 'I Made a Mistake' Universe a few years ago...lots of stuff that Steve's doing.
 
I heard that Steve maybe canceled from Page Six TV hasn't been said yet isn't going to be made official until a couple from now. Or maybe a new studio picks up Steve's talk show but the guy works too much does he ever take a break?

Months later, and the answer is yes his show is canceled, as wherelese could they have put it? Kelly Clarkson is taking the lead in to Ellen DeGernes show, mornings the national program is Today show, so where could they have aired it.

Stations can choose when they air syndicated shows. Also, there is no requirement that the station that airs these shows also be an NBC affiliate. Where I live "Ellen" is on a Fox affiliate which switched to The CW when Fox bought the CW affiliate.
 
The farewell show was taped last week. Steve has now officially ceased production. There were talks with the Fox Stations, but they passed on it.

A couple of months later, not sure if there are a lot of tv stations that would have interest in having a talk show hosted by Steve Harvey on their station, even with what would that do to their own schedules.

Some syndicated shows have mandates on scheduling in terms of time slots or pairings with other programs, especially among network O&O's.

Wheel of Fortune is only allowed to air at 7:00 or 7:30 PM in the Eastern and Pacific Time Zones, and 6:00 or 6:30 PM in Central and Mountain. If a station has to pre-empt the show, they cannot move it to an earlier time slot without special permission.
 
And there are exceptions to that 'mandate' - WLS in Chicago has aired Jeopardy at 3:30 in the afternoon in favor of a 6pm Eyewitness Newscast for several years now.
 
Jeopardy doesn’t have a prime access mandate, so it’s not an exception. Of course they try to get it into prime access in the east and west, and deservedly succeed. But it is scattered in daytime slots by necessity in many markets. They may be able to get Wheel the coveted slot across the board, but you can’t win ‘em all.

I believe Jeopardy! does have the same mandate as Wheel for the ET and PT zones. I don't know of any affiliates in those time zones that air Jeopardy!'s primary run in daytime (WBOC Salisbury does list it at 4:30 PM, but that is an error; it is actually the secondary run which not all markets carry). I only know of one ET market (and none in PT) that carries them on separate affiliates - Dayton has Wheel on WHIO/CBS and Jeopardy! on WDTN/NBC.

There is only one single affiliate in the CT zone that airs Wheel at 6:00 - KVHP Lake Charles (FOX affiliate with no 6:00 newscast). Every other one airs it at 6:30. Some that don't have newscasts at 6:00 such as WDJT Milwaukee do air Jeopardy! in that slot, but most air it in daytime. There are also several markets in the CT and MT zones that carry them on separate affiliates (e.g. Minneapolis has Wheel on WCCO/CBS and Jeopardy! on KARE/NBC). Regardless of time zone, there is a rule that, if the two shows are on separate affiliates, they cannot have the same time slot (although when NBC had Thursday Night Football, WDTN Dayton opted to move Jeopardy! up to 7:00 to avoid getting pre-empted by pregame, pitting it against Wheel).

It would be nice if some CT/MT markets opted to do the opposite: Wheel in daytime and Jeopardy! in prime access. Wheel's mandate has kind of been hurting them in recent years. Extended national news coverage can often pre-empt the 7:00 ET slot (although I don't recall ABC World News Tonight/CBS Evening News/NBC Nightly News doing hour-long editions since the 2017 Las Vegas shooting), and sporting event pregames or award show red carpets usually take over the 7:30 ET/6:30 CT slot, giving Wheel the boot in the majority of the country. There are also a handful of "WOF at 7:00/J! at 7:30" stations that will basically give Wheel fans the middle finger and move Jeopardy! to 7:00 so that it doesn't get pre-empted by whatever is at 7:30 (WXIX Cincinnati did this for Thursday Night Football this year, but the US Open and All-Star Game suggest they have a new, fairer solution of airing Jeopardy! pre-prime-access at 6:00 so Wheel can remain).
