\n\tThe CBS Stations and CBS Media Ventures are making a statement amid a shrinking daytime talk show field and questions over the genre\u2019s future with a two-season renewal for The Drew Barrymore<\/a> Show. In addition to the CBS Stations, The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a>\u2018s core station group since launch, stations owned by Nexstar and Sinclair also have renewed the talker for Seasons 7 and 8, with time period upgrades in seven of the top 40 markets: Seattle, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Charlotte, Baltimore, Kansas City and Cincinnati. <\/p>\n

\n\tProduced and distributed by CBS Media Ventures, The Drew Barrymore Show will now be on the air until at least 2028, including in the Top 3 TV markets, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, where it runs on the CBS stations. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Drew Barrymore Show was part of the last wave of high-profile daytime talk show launches between 1999-2022, with the genre in a retreat mode since then over first-run syndication\u2019s challenging economics, especially for talk shows which are being pushed out by cheaper, typically non-union, video podcasts.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf the 1999-2022 crop of talkers, two, The Kelly Clarkson Show and Sherri are coming to an end this season. Two, The Drew Barrymore Show and The Jennifer Hudson Show, have been renewed, the latter for one season. There is no word yet on the last one, Tamron Hall, which has been under ABC News oversight since 2021. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat matters most to us is our viewers and the people that come here! This show began as a space for intimate conversation, and we\u2019re continuing to plant our flag as a truly multiplatform experience. We live in a world where people discover content in so many different ways, and from the very start in 2020, our mission was to break the mold rather than conform to the traditional daytime landscape,\u201d Barrymore said. \u201cI hold myself accountable to staying savvy about how and where this show is seen \u2013 feeding every corner that counts, while daring to just be myself and figure out life with others. My curiosity about people is what fuels me. I\u2019m so excited to continue as I see this endeavor as an opportunity and a gift. Our show family is deeply grateful for the support of CBS and George Cheeks, who all helped us get here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Drew Barrymore Show is having its most-watched season with 1.6 million daily viewers per Nielsen L+7 Big Data + Panel. Driven by Barrymore\u2019s social media reach, the series\u2019 digital and social footprint has grown to more than 14 million followers across platforms, with engagement up +47% year over year. Leaning into digital, each interview is delivered in two formats: a broadcast edit and an extended cut on the show\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, The Drew Barrymore Show won its first Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDrew is the original influencer \u2013 a true trendsetter and culture-driving force who has consistently stayed ahead of the conversation,\u201d said the series\u2019 executive producer Jason Kurtz. \u201cThe success of this show is rooted in the fact that Drew shows up as her unfiltered, authentic self every single day, continually challenging the conventions of daytime television and reimagining what the format can be in a multiplatform world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The CBS Stations and CBS Media Ventures are making a statement amid a shrinking daytime talk show field…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":321214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[6298,156,111,139,69,3293,66048,437],"class_list":["post-321213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-drew-barrymore","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-renewals","tag-the-drew-barrymore-show","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
