Martha Still a Viable TV Star, For Now
Despite the domestic diva's woes with the Justice Department, the nation's TV stations are renewing her show, "Martha Stewart Living."
Originally posted Tuesday December 03, 2002 01:00 PM EST
The Justice Department may have issues with Martha Stewart, but her TV syndicator is still with her, say trade reports.
The domestic diva, 61 -- currently under investigation for possible insider trading involving a biotech stock she unloaded nearly a year ago (a day before the stock's value plunged on account of an FDA decision) -- should take solace in the fact that her show, "Martha Stewart Living," has been cleared for renewal by 70 percent of the country's TV stations for the 2003-04 season, Variety reports.
However, King World, the syndicator, did not specify which stations have renewed the show.
In addition, Stewart's highly coveted morning time slots on a number of major-market CBS-owned stations may be threatened by King World's new talk show, "Living It Up! With Ali & Jack." That program is set to premiere in the fall on many of the same stations -- and could in fact be positioned as a replacement for "Martha," it has been speculated.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a King World spokesman, saying, "it's up to the stations to make their programming decisions," declined comment on the possibility of such a replacement.
King World chairman Roger King also revealed little in his announcement, other than to say, "We look forward to the new 2003-04 season of 'Martha Stewart Living.'"
