A Nationally-syndicated TV News Program Titled "The Daily Buzz" Gets Cancelled

Not cancelled in the usual sense, by a network or distributor, instead cancelled by lack of funds to continue operating -- thus the extremely short notice over a weekend.

I can think of one: WVVH, the independent TV station in the Hamptons that largely runs the Outdoor Television network. They also carry INN News.

Many Sinclair stations which never carried the show until they purchased the company behind the DBZ also aired it starting this season; my station in Milwaukee (MyNetworkTV) is replacing it with a double rerun of a couple of low-watched lifestyle shows (a couple markets are going with The Balancing Act, a show if you go by Google, is pretty much a paid lifestyle show with insane 'rip-off' production costs getting charged to those who put their stuff on it). At this point I suppose these stations are in salvage mode since DBZ usually only scored scratches in most markets, and whoever pulled the funding for the show can pretty much expect to be sued by quite a few station groups for screwing up their schedules until September.

Did that show have any affiliates that weren't WB/CW affiliates?

Before the CW/MNT flip, then-UPN affiliate KTXA/21 in Dallas (now independent) carried the Daily Buzz but dumped it sometime in the late 2000s. It had been shuffled between then-independent KFWD/52 (now Mundo Fox) and MyNetworkTV affiliate KDFI/27.

I also wanna say it's about time too. The show fell several years back and hoped one day it would be taken off the air.

KDOC-56 in Los Angeles carried it and they are affiliated with no one.

I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.
Generic news stories that could appeal to the entire U.S. and chucklehead anchors waxing on about useless entertainment stories and viral Youtube videos.

It like what the original CNN Headline News was if it was produced by Nickelodeon's Kids News.

It pretty much stayed on the air thanks to a glacial contract with the WB/CW cable stations that was made back in the days when Jamie Kellner (who owned the original company behind the show with a bunch of WB affiliates AND was a WB network president) strong-armed them into carrying the series; it only stayed on because the other choice most CW/MyNet stations make at that time slots are either infomercials, shows like The Believer's Voice of Victory, or Byron Allen's false court shows. Without the WB/CW 100 deal, it wouldn't have lasted beyond the CW/UPN merger.

And please never compare original HLN to Nick News (which is actually intelligent for a kid's news series; Teen Kids News is a more appropo comparison); Linda Elerbee is a saint for keeping that show going even as Viacom self-destructs itself.
 
Was Jessica Reyes still with the show? It hasn't aired in the Jackson, Miss. market since former CW 34 was bought by a religious network back in May 2013.

Yes, She was the last of the "Superfriends" cast to stay, and it showed. I and plenty of others, lost interest when @cdla, mark and the older former beauty queen all left last year.
