We have the first daytime syndicated series set for next fall, a one-hour talk
show hosted by former American Idol winner and current The Voice coach Kelly
Clarkson. NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution has sold The Kelly Clarkson Show
to the NBC Owned TV Station group for a fall 2019 debut.
The show is getting a prime slot on the NBC stations where it will air as the
lead-in to daytime anchor Ellen in all but one market. That is a time period
that had been occupied by a Steve Harvey talker for seven seasons now, first
Steve Harvey and currently Steve.
It is not clear what will happen to Steve, produced by IMG Original Content,
which replaced the Endemol Shine North America-produced Steve Harvey starting
last fall. It is being distributed by NBCU TV Distribution but I hear the
company has been telling stations it would no longer handle it. IMG could take
it elsewhere, and I hear that the company has had preliminary conversations. In
the new incarnation under new ownership structure, Steve, which relocated from
Chicago to Los Angeles, is pretty expensive, which could make finding a new home
challenging, but I hear IMG intends to continue with the show.
