‘Dish Nation’ Set For Season 2 Green Light


Twentieth Television’s radio-DJ-hosted newsmagazine Dish Nation is pulling off a feat that a few of this year’s other rookie syndicated shows won’t — a second season. With Dish delivering ratings equal to its higher-profile freshmen rivals, according to syndication executives, Twentieth is expected to make the announcement of renewal at NATPE this week.

According to Kevin Downey at TV NewsCheck, Dish, which has several morning radio show teams talking about celebrity gossip — including its newest, KLOS-FM Los Angeles’ Heidi & Frank — averaged a 0.5 adult 18-49 rating the week ending Jan. 13. By doing so, it tied Disney-ABC’s Katie and NBCUniversal’s Steve Harvey.

  • Blaine Fowler & Allyson Martins from WDVD 96.3 FM Detroit
