TV Show Cancellation Thread (including ending ones)

Yes...Hartford/New Haven is presently ranked at #30. We're also the first TV market which doesn't have at least 1 million TV households.
 
The Insider comes on at 7:30PM on WZZM for all it's run also had repeats at 1:00AM but WZZM decided to put an ET repeat at 1:00AM this past fall. I had a feeling that one of the Entertainment Newsmags were going to get cancelled which I thought would have been Dish Nation surprise it got renewed for 2 more seasons which I thought that FOX would have cancelled since Page Six TV is going national this fall. My guess is that WZZM puts Bold in the Insider slot or maybe they move ET to 7:30PM slot and put Bold at 7PM will not know until promos come out in late July and website as well.
 
So what happens with the affiliates that air ET/Insider in a block? Does another entertainment show replace it at CBS? I have the feeling that most affiliates aired ET/The Insider next to each other - KAPP and KIRO both do.

i'm sure CBS would find a way to replace "The Insider" with "Inside Edition" for the ET/Insider duo hour in select markets where Inside Edition is on the same station as both shows.

i wouldn't be surprise if WFAA (the home of all 3 shows in the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX TV market) moves the replay of ET from it's 2:10 AM spot to 2 PM in the afternoon and follow it with Inside Edition while the Insider moves back to 2:10 AM for the rest of it's run into cancelationland as WFAA figures out what to replace the Insider with. i'm sure ET will take the 2 PM spot in the form of a rearing of the previous day's episode while the new episode airs at 6:30 PM as it always does.

Pew Die Pie Disney and youtube cancels season two of the Youtube show PewDie Pie over allegations of an anti Semitic rant. Disney notes that advertising for PewDie Pie would be reduced over these allegations.

In December, Forbes magazine estimated that Mr. Kjellberg had earned $15 million in the year that ended last June, thanks largely to his book, “This Book Loves You,” and his series on YouTube Red, Google’s paid subscription service, which offers ad-free viewing among other benefits.

One of the videos identified by The Journal featured a man dressed as Jesus Christ saying, “Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong.” In another, Mr. Kjellberg hired two men to make and display a sign that said, “Death to All Jews,” according to The Journal.

PewDiePie removed those videos, along with a third, but not before they had amassed about 23 million views, The Journal reported. All three were published last month.

Mr. Kjellberg addressed the criticism in a Sunday post on Tumblr, the popular blogging platform.

“I think it’s important to say something, and I want to make one thing clear: I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes,” he said. He added: “Though this was not my intention, I understand that these jokes were ultimately offensive.”

Mr. Kjellberg did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Monday night.

The Walt Disney Company zealously defends its brand — it decided not to bid for Twitter last year in part because it was concerned with trolls on that social network — but this is not the first time that the entertainment conglomerate has had trouble from off-brand units. In 2010, for example, it sold the sometimes-racy Miramax Films.

In 2014, Disney paid $500 million for Maker Studios in a bid to expand its reach online. In the intervening years, however, Maker Studios has suffered from layoffs and retrenchments.

And Now Layoffs are being announced at Maker Studios 1 day after the alleged Pew Die Pie Rant.
But A lot of this is really because Disney was losing money on some contracts of youtube shows. This Means we may see other Youtube Shows cancelled from Disney Maker's distribution rights to ranking the studio says are the top Youtube shows under their cluster.

You may see some stations may put a newscast at 7PM and move whatever was at 7PM to 7:30PM, some may sign on The List, Page Six TV etc.

Damn Now PewDiePie may be off Maker Studios distribution contract but apparently this Youtube show is allegedly the highest paid Youtube talent.

He’ll still likely make at least $7 million this year that we'll include when we calculate our Highest-Paid YouTube List for 2017. That’s because his biggest moneymaker, the advertising on his widely watched YouTube channel, will continue to bank seven digits.

“He would get a check for the rest of his life with his library of content,” one industry insider said of Kjellberg’s YouTube clips, which made him $10 million last year from ads playing during videos, FORBES estimates. “Even if his viewership declined tremendously, there would still be enough that he would generate a meaningful amount of money.”

When traditional stars make offensive or racist comments, they get put in Hollywood jail: studios don’t cast them, brands end endorsement deals and networks take them off air. But since the anti-Semitic clips came to light, his subscriber count has actually grown to some 53.2 million.

It’s a viewership advertisers covet. Gamers like Kjellberg have more potential to monetize their work than other YouTube content creators as their videos are often longer and thus provide more opportunities for advertisements.

Disney And YouTube Red Cut Ties With PewDiePie After Anti-Semitic Posts

Still, his earnings will decline. Advertising will be harder to come by now that Kjellberg is not part of the Google Preferred program, which offers brands access to YouTube channels popular with millennials. According to another industry insider, the cost per viewer of his ads will decrease now that he isn’t part of the program. (Cost per viewer is based on a complicated YouTube algorithm involving engagement, overall viewership and other metrics.)

For a short time, advertisers taking part in YouTube’s general advertisement auction may also choose not to advertise with him, so as to not be associated with his comments.

Such effects are likely only short term. With his following, it is unlikely advertisers will totally desert him. “There were advertisers that sponsored Hitler events during World War II,” says Eric Schiffer, a branding expert at Reputation Management Consultant. “You’ll always find someone lacking morality that is trying to make a buck.”

I fondly remember the Good Old Days when performers had ordinary names - even if they weren't their real given names.

PewDiePie? The Weekend? Ice-T?

Soupy Sales. Engelbert Humperdinck. Meat Loaf.

Oh, and it's The Weeknd, with no third "e." Why? Probably to easily establish a brand and an internet presence -- something performers of bygone days didn't have to worry about.

These could have been real names (but obviously were not). I was referring to 'names' which, under no circumstances, could be considered real names.

Engelbert Humperdinck, (1 September 1854 – 27 September 1921) was a German composer, best known for his opera Hansel and Gretel.

There was a real Engelbert; the pop singer just borrowed his name.

I realized that. Landtuna was looking for "ordinary" names and, while that may have been ordinary in 19th century Germany, it certainly wasn't in mid-20th century England, or America for that matter.
