NBCUniversal Exits First-Run Syndication, Ending Steve Wilkos and Access Hollywood
TL;DR
NBCUniversal is pulling out of first-run syndication, winding down The Steve Wilkos Show, Karamo, Access Hollywood and Access Live by summer, with new Wilkos and Karamo episodes airing through the season and unclear prospects for Access Hollywood/Live beyond linear TV. The shake-up follows shrinking first-run syndication profits as streaming grows, and NBCU says it will keep distributing its library titles while likely imposing layoffs.
