American Idol Moves Production to Georgia, Reflecting a Broader Runaway-Production Trend

TL;DR Summary
American Idol is relocating its production from Los Angeles to Georgia to capitalize on tax incentives and lower costs, continuing a trend of reality and game shows leaving California for states with broader incentives. California’s tax credits largely exclude unscripted fare (except for competition shows), fueling concerns about the long-term viability of keeping such productions in-state.
