Mar. 3, 2023 "‘Rachael Ray’ Daytime Show To End After 17 Seasons": Today I found this article by Nellie Andreeva on Yahoo:
EXCLUSIVE: CBS Media Ventures’ nationally syndicated daytime talk show Rachael Ray will be coming to an end after its current 17th season when it will stop original production.
“In my more than 20 plus years in television I have had 17 wonderful seasons working in daytime television with Rachael,” Ray said in a statement to Deadline. “However I’ve made the decision that’s it’s time for me to move on to the next exciting chapter in my broadcast career.”
It’s been a year of seismic changes in the increasingly challenging daytime syndication landscape, with
Dr. Phil,
Judge Mathis
and The People’s Court
also set to wrap their runs this season and fellow stalwarts
The Ellen DeGeneres Show,
The Wendy Williams Show,
Maury,
Dr. Oz
as well as The Real
ending within the past 12 months. CBS Television Distribution, which distributes Rachael Ray, also is behind Dr. Phil and two other syndicated programs that came to an end over the last year,
The Doctors
and Daily Mail TV.
News of the latest cancellation comes on the same day Deadline reported exclusively that Ray had teamed with Intentional Content to launch a new production company Free Food Studios.

Sept. 28, 2023 "'ET Canada' cancelled by Corus Entertainment, blames 'challenging' advertising market": Today I found this article on BNN Bloomberg:
The studio lights are going dark at "ET Canada."
Corus Entertainment said Wednesday it is ceasing production on the long-running Canadian arts and entertainment news magazine Oct. 6 after 18 seasons.
The media company blamed the impending demise on the cost of producing a daily show in "a challenging advertising environment."
"The show will no longer be produced and all social media and websites related to the brand will be decommissioned," a Corus spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
"Entertainment Tonight Canada," the name used when the show launched on Global Television in 2005, put a distinctly Canadian lens on the world of film, television and music.
Over the years, its hosts have included former MuchMusic VJ Rick Campanelli and R&B singer Keshia Chanté. It is currently co-hosted by Sangita Patel and Cheryl Hickey, who has been with the show since its start.
Corus would not say how many people worked on the show, nor whether any could be employed elsewhere in the organization.
The spokesperson said that after Oct. 6, encore specials will air in the same time-slot until Oct. 31.
