NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution announced Wednesday it
has sold the hit daytime show “Steve Harvey” through 2016 to station groups
across the country, including the NBC Owned Television Stations. “Steve
Harvey,” which has been a phenomenon in all key ratings benchmarks in its debut
season and earned accolades including an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Talk
Show Host, has already been renewed for three additional seasons in more than
65% of the U.S.
to date.
“Steve is one of the best entertainers in the country and
his first season has been a tremendous success because of the personal
connection he makes with the daytime audience,” said Ted Harbert, Chairman, NBC
Broadcasting. “It's so great to see Steve’s very funny and substantive show
being rewarded with long-term commitments from our station partners.”
In its premiere season, “Steve Harvey” has become one of the
most successful new first-run syndication launches in the past decade. In the
May 2013 sweep, “Steve Harvey” was the #1 new first-run show with Women 18-49
and Women 25-54 nationally, and was the only new show to build over its lead-in
and improve the year ago time period.
