With Jerry and Steve leaving, "Judge Mathis" and "Judge Jeanne Piro" will be the only national shows taping at the NBC Tower.
However, Bonnie Hunt wants to do her show in her hometown of Chicago. Warners originally told her that they'd discuss that if she stays on at least two years. I read somewhere that she's now pressuring Warners for a move to Chicago for January 2010. I assume she knows that a studio at WMAQ, her station in Chicago, will be empty come fall. Interestingly enough, Bonnie also currently tapes at the Culver Studios. |

Have to say that I might be in a minority here but I'm against this trend.
Los Angeles / Hollywood is the spiritual home of the game show industry and should remain so. Nevertheless, they did try to relocate the industry to Florida in the early 1990s (the last incarnation of Let's Make a Deal & Family Secrets were two such shows) because of the availablility of cheap labor and lower taxes but when all said and done it never really supplanted LA as the game show capital of the world and I cannot see this latest announcement leading to a mass exodus of game shows from the Hollywood area either. |

Well, if there's no money left to be made in Hollywood, are you then advocating for the downfall of the game show industry? Sure seems like it. |

As healthy as the genre is right now (not including the possibility of daytime game shows returning), I don't think any city will challenge L.A. or N.Y. anytime soon. |
