The End of Rachael Ray's Talk Show?

Posted by Madeline | Thursday, March 13, 2008
I'm so skeptical these days of any story about Rachael Ray written using any source other than Rachael herself, but I still had to share this, just in case it does turn out to be true. According to the New York Post's Page Six, Rachael's talk show contract will not be renewed when it runs out in 2010 and could even be pulled off the air before then.

Rachael's rep informed Page Six that the show is renewed through 2010, "so canceling is not an option." King World, who produces Rachael's show, has vehemently denied the story to the Huffington Post and corrected several inaccuracies.

The speculation is based on "an impeccable TV source" who told Page Six, "They are seriously talking about taking her off the air." Apparently, the issue is the show's ratings:

I don't think I have ever watched an entire show. I catch bits and pieces when flipping the channel.

The Food Network Addict blog seems to think this isn't true.

Maybe it won't renew after the contract is up in 2010. That is two years away and anything can happen.
