<\/a> Tamron Hall<\/p><\/div>\n

Former Chicago news anchor Tamron Hall has signed with Disney\/ABC to develop and host a new daytime talk show to be syndicated in the fall of 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so thrilled to partner with Disney\/ABC to create a daytime television show that\u2019s unconventional, fun, intimate and sometimes even raw,\u201d Hall said in a statement Wednesday.\u00a0\u201cMy new partners appreciate and respect the relationship I\u2019ve built with my audience and know that if we create television worth watching, they\u2019ll join us for the ride.\u00a0I\u2019m so grateful and excited for this next chapter.\u00a0The landing makes the leap of faith so worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall spent 10 years at NBC News, where she anchored a daily show on MSNBC and co-hosted the 9 a.m. hour of NBC\u2019s \u201cToday.\u201d She left in 2017 when the network dropped the third hour of \u201cToday\u201d and replaced it with a talk show hosted by Megyn Kelly, formerly of Fox News.<\/p>\n

Soon after that, Hall announced she had signed with producer Harvey Weinstein to develop a talk show, but that deal was aborted in the wake of Weinstein\u2019s sexual misconduct scandals. She has continued to host \u201cDeadline: Crime with Tamron Hall,\u201d<\/a> a newsmagazine series she launched in 2013 for Investigation Discovery.<\/p>\n

Before she rose to national fame, Hall was a news anchor and reporter at Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32 <\/a>for 10 years, including a long run as \u201cFox News in the Morning\u201d host alongside Bob Sirott, David Novarro and Mike Barz.<\/p>\n

Hosting a daytime talk show for Disney\/ABC won't be easy, according to Stephen Battaglio of the Los Angeles Times, <\/a>who noted that audiences for the genre have been declining, as more viewers are choosing to stream shows or play back series on DVRs.<\/p>\n

\"No syndicated talk show with a solo host has succeeded since 'The Steve Harvey Show' was launched in 2013,\" Battaglio reported. \"Disney\/ABC has not entered the syndication market with the format since Katie Couric\u2019s program, which had a two-year run in daytime that ended in 2014.\"<\/p>\n

In Chicago, ABC owns WLS-Channel 7, but it\u2019s not known whether that station will be carrying Hall\u2019s new show.<\/p>\n

Wednesday's comment of the day:<\/a>\u00a0Maria Guerrero-Suarez:<\/strong> Sadden to hear about Jorge Barbosa. I knew it had to be due to the upheaval Univision is going through but he was one of the few classy broadcasters left in Spanish media. He will be missed!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
