Program Partners Scraps Marie Osmond Talker

Clearances from distributor Program Partners were reported in the low 80 percent range and the scheduled launch date for the long awaited syndicated talk show hosted by Marie Osmond was Sept. 14. But sluggish ad sales were cited as the reason behind the Osmond talker being pulled before it even aired.   
 
“It was my sincere desire to produce an exceptional talk show, produced with the high quality that is associated with the Marie Osmond brand for over four decades,” said Osmond in a prepared statement.
