D.L. Hughley’s CNN Show Canceled?

TVNewser reports that CNN’s attempt at a humorous news show starring comic D.L. Hughley is ending at the end of the month. Hughley apparently wanted to move the show to Los Angeles and CNN deemed it too cost prohibitive. The show had been drawing 200,000 viewers among 25-54 in recent weeks on Saturday evenings. The show launched last November.

Here’s the CNN statement. The publicist said the show as NOT cancelled:

“D.L. approached CNN about being permanently based in Los Angeles, where his family lives. To accommodate this, we agreed upon a new role where he will be a contributor for the network based in Los Angeles. We are eager to continue our relationship with D.L., who is a tremendous talent and a valued colleague.”
