Tyra Banks talk show moving to the CW

Kimberly Nordyke just filed this story at THR.com:

Daytime talker "The Tyra Banks Show" is moving to the CW in September.

The hourlong show, from Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution and Telepictures Prods., has been airing in syndication for four seasons. The switch to the CW will see "Tyra" double-run on weekday afternoons from 3-5 p.m.

The agreement means that both of Banks' TV shows -- "The Tyra Banks Show" and "America's Next Top Model" -- will air on the same network starting in the fall.

As a result of “Tyra” moving to the CW, WBDTD will begin offering the freshman court program “Judge Jeanine Pirro” in first-run syndication for fall 2009. The show is now airing from 3-4 p.m. weekdays on the CW. The 4-5 p.m. hour includes the sitcoms “The Wayans Bros.” and “The Jamie Foxx Show.”

“We think moving ‘Tyra’ to network affiliates who have enjoyed such tremendous success with ‘Top Model’ creates a great opportunity for the network to broaden its appeal in early fringe, as well as advantage our show," WBDTD president Ken Werner said.

Added CW COO John Maatta: “The addition of ‘The Tyra Banks Show’ to the CW’s Monday through Friday afternoon block further unifies our brand as a destination for women and serves as the ideal companion to bridge daytime and primetime, for our network and our affiliated stations.”

Telepictures president Hilary Estey McLoughlin said that the move will enable Banks "to continue her success while collaborating with the network to cross-promote her brand in both daytime and primetime, maximizing her audiences and impact on one home.”
