Will Packer-Produced Entertainment News Show Lands Trial Run on Fox Stations
Producer Will Packer and distributor Debmar-Mercury are teaming up for a syndicated entertainment-news show that will get a trial run on Fox stations in the fall. The half-hour show, Central Ave., will be a "wide-reaching and multicultural entertainment news magazine" hosted by Julissa Bermurdez (BET's 106 & Park, Empire Girls) and five-time Olypmic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross. Their pairing marks the first time two women of color have co-hosted an entertainment-news show. "Central Ave. will stand out in the newsmag space by presenting a unique first-person perspective on the culture-driving, trendsetting topics that mainstream audiences have a voracious appetite for," said Packer, the producer of Girls Trip and Night School.

"We can't wait to … [Read more...] about Will Packer-Produced Entertainment News Show Lands Trial Run on Fox Stations

All three shows are down substantially in viewers this decade, a decline similar to every series shown on broadcast television. The entertainment newsmagazines have had fairly stable audiences the past couple of seasons, and ET ranks in the top 10 among all syndicated shows for 2018-19. But they have remained solid players in syndication despite those realities and a proliferation of more gossip-focused shows like TMZ. Then there's the even newer entrants, Daily Mail TV and Page Six TV, the former co-produced by Dr. Phil's Stage 29 Productions and the later from the New York Post and Endemol Shine, that are looking to compete with TMZ for … [Read more...] about How Showbiz TV Is Adapting to a Changing News Climate
