The Rachael Ray show maybe cancelled at end of it's contract due to low ratings - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The show has generated a 2.0 rating this season and not many women between the 18-49 age bracket are tuning into the show. The ratings for the show has fallen each year since the show made it's debut in 2006

Given how much women hate to cook these days, i'm not surprised. Did you know about the anti-Rachel Ray website thats out there?

Actually, her contract is up in 2010, so nothing can happen until then. She has two years to go.

And if and when that occurs, Marie Osmond may be given her own talk show at that time.

AOL wasted my time when I clicked on the link to read that headline as well.

They made it seem like her show was being cancelled TOMORROW or at least real soon. Reading the article it says she has a contract until 2010 and nothing can occur until then.

Well, not really, it informed us that her show's ratings have dropped. But I guess the headline stating her show may be cancelled looks a lot better.

The "Rachael Ray" show is one of the best talk show performers and during the recently completed February sweeps period there was only one show performed better — Dr. Phil. In today's Broadcasting & Cable you can see a story about how well we did during the February sweep that saw Oprah was down 15% from last February, Regis and Kelly was down 16%, Tyra Banks down 13% and Martha Stewart down 27%.

As you can see we are actually growing this season in a very difficult TV environment, where total viewership has been down due in part to the writer's strike.

Last season our show averaged 2,552,000 viewers per show. So far this season we are UP — averaging 2,593,000 viewers per show.

And with regard to our median age rising, yes it has, but less than 3% and the explanation for that is we have a loyal viewership that has been with us since the show launched and they had a birthday since last year!

But if we want to talk median ages in first run syndication let's talk about Regis at 56.1, Oprah at 54.6, Wheel of Fortune 64.1 and Jeopardy at 63.2. Our show has a wide appeal with audiences in all age groups.

Rachel Ray is totally safe and successful, besides valerie bertinelli is being tested on Ray for her own talk show in fall '09! Paramount would distribute
