Are daytime talk shows successful?

i know Rosie O'Donnell's talk show aired on a few NBC O&O stations except for New York City which aired on WABC, KVII in Amarillo carried that show throughout it's run.
 
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.

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.

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.
 
I believe all talk shows with a studio audience give their studio seating away for free.

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.
 
I can't comment on its caliber, since I have not watched Live with Kelly and Ryan even once. Hard to sample much Daytime TV while working a 9 to 5. But regardless of its caliber, Live! still earns top tier ratings among talk shows. Typically it is second after Dr. Phil and ahead of Ellen.

FYI Walters still gets a creator's paycheck from the show regardless what she thinks.

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 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.

You had better put another zero at least on that.

In fact, I know more than one jock in the 80's who would tape some of those daytime talk shows and then view them when they got home as "idea starters" for radio morning or talk show bits.
 
Steve had a very good run 7 years where I live I'm sure Lin TV/Media General were kicking themselves losing Steve Harvey and replacing him with the failed Meredith talker & Harry Nexstar moved Harry to 9AM in May of 2017 on WOTV and put The Real at 3PM where it was on at 3PM moved The Real back to 9AM in the fall of 2018. WOTV just puts a repeat of 8 West at 3PM that airs on sister station Wood TV at 11AM along with Miranda Where You Live at about 11:50AM for the final 10 minutes she used to have a 30-minute show on WOTV for years was just once a week on the weekends. Then around 2010 began to be 5 days a week moved a lot was on at 7:30PM then moved to 7PM and Extra at 7:30PM for a couple of years in 2014 moved it to 4PM on WOTV & WXSP don't ask me why they aired it at the same time.

What do you think about josh elliott possibly replacing ryan seacrest on Live he has good ties with abc and I think he would draw more of an audience as lots of people hate / strongly dislike seacrest.
 
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.

Right he was fired under unfair circumstances because charlie rose {such a great guy himself} complained about him making an early announcement that he may be a correspondent for their news department? You get fired for that?

ABC I dont see any reason josh elliott couldnt go back there or one of the news networks I could see him at CNN or even like CSPAN.
