Following low ratings on UKTV’s Watch channel, the Richard & Judy’s Book Club talk show has been canceled–six months before the contract expires.
UK television hosts and literary taste-makers Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan couldn’t muster strong ratings on the digital channel, Bookseller reports. The duo recently announced their summer reading list, but the show will end on July 3rd.
Here’s more from the article: “But Cactus TV said it was in ‘advanced talks’ with ‘media partners’ about the future of the Book Club, saying it ‘hopes the Book Club will continue beyond UKTV.'” (Via jafurtado)
