Katie was really expensive too. Stations were thanking their lucky stars when the show was cancelled. As I recall, (depending on the market) Katie cost around $164,000 a week.
Im sure that was to pay Katie.What would make it cost that much like just to have the broadcast rights or what.
Besides Oprah and Ellen after, do these shows really make money. Every year one falls and another takes its place. How many A or B list celebrities will be given a talk show only to have it disappear in a year or two. Would local affiliates just rather show an infomercial or local news in place of these daily talkers.
The Live franchise has run its course. Kelly and Ryan is nowhere near the caliber the Regis versions were. Same with The View, Walters can't be happy with what her show has become.How about Live with Kelly and Ryan and The View? And cancelations can be good thing, like with Steve's show being canceled out, when in the fall NBC promised Kelly Clarkson the lead in slot to Ellen Degerenes' show, where currently that has where Steve Harvey has been since he became a talk show host, with first bashing his talk show in Chicago, and then moving it to Los Angeles under just the title of Steve. So I would say he has been successful. I assume that it depends on the different daytime talk shows if they charge for tickets, like I see that they are free tickets for their show, and the website makes it look like they are sold out dates. I liked at one date for September sold out, and another one where you had to join a wait list for. And looking at the View I see 3rd and 5th of September as sold out dates, and the rest you have to join a wait list for, and I see free tickets. SO assuming maybe they are all free tickets.

Hard to sample much Daytime TV while working a 9 to 5.

How much does it cost to produce? Im sure the affiliates don't get the show on the cheap.You might think so but they are still on the air, and do you have even any good ideas for replacements?

If katie was charging more than 10 thousand an episode then abc was wasting their money.Im sure that was to pay Katie.

Hate to point out the obvious but devices for delayed viewing of TV shows have been available for 40 years. Whether or not anything in daytime is worth delaying is another subject.
You had better put another zero at least on that.
Josh Elliot was fired from both NBC and CBS. I don't imagine his ties with ABC are that great either, after leaving in the middle of his contract.
