LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Ellen DeGeneres (news) has talked her way into a second season on the NBC-owned stations that carry her syndicated chat show.

The 14 NBC outlets represent coverage of more than 30% of the country, according to NBC Television Stations president Jay Ireland. In all, the talker has been sold in more than 50 markets, including 19 of the top 20, representing more than 60% of the country.

Elsewhere in the syndication industry, the news feeding frenzy over the Michael Jackson (news) arrest warrant fueled ratings boosts for the top three syndicated magazine shows, according to Nielsen Media Research data released Thursday.

"Entertainment Tonight" (6.5 average audience household rating) scored its highest number in 39 weeks for the week ending Nov. 23 and managed a week-to-week increase of 3%. The magazine strip gained 7% from the same period last year.

"Access Hollywood" (3.4) hit a new season high with a 10% week-to-week gain and a 21% year-to-year increase. "Extra" (2.9) also hit a new season high with a 7% week-to-week gain. It was even with last year's performance.

Magazine show "Celebrity Justice," now in its second season, posted a 1.3 rating, which was up 8% from the previous week and down 7% year-to-year. "Inside Edition" (3.7) was down 3% for the week but was up 9% year-to-year.

That's great! She's a natural talk-show host, and I love her monologues at the beginning of each show!

I discovered that the Oxygen channel shows the reruns at night. Hope they continue to do that.
