NBC and producers of The Apprentice will bring Donald Trump's reality TV show back from the brink of cancellation for at least one more season, industry sources said Friday.Full story here.
The sources told Reuters on condition of anonymity that NBC plans to announce a renewal at an annual summer presentation to television critics on July 16, about two months after the show had appeared on the verge of prime-time extinction.
There was no official word on a deal from NBC, the Trump organization or executive producer Mark Burnett, but all three parties have acknowledged in recent weeks that negotiations on a possible return of the show were continuing.
Curious call considering all the complaining the network had been doing over the show's ratings and the big blowup Trump feigned after NBC's upfronts left the show off the schedule. Also curious considering it's a cruddy show and NBC decided to bring it back over much more quality fare.
