They’ll be no extra seasons of Extra on NBC in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas and San Francisco.
The syndicated newsmagazine show has been cancelled on NBC in top markets, but will move to Fox TV Stations from Fall 2019 (Season 26).
Per Variety:
Fox Television Stations has cut a deal with “Extra” distributor Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution to acquire the entertainment-focused half-hour strip in seven major markets — including New York and Los Angeles — starting in fall 2019. The move leaves key NBC O&Os with a void in the hour leading in to primetime.
“This deal is a win-win for two companies with a strong history together. ‘Extra’ fits right into our day and date strategy and the stations will be ready to ensure its continued success,” said Frank Cicha, senior VP of programming for Fox Television Stations. “While it’s targeted primarily for big time periods, it can run all over the place and we’ll take advantage of that. And there will be great opportunities to work with our news departments as well.”
