That's an extremely low number for a nationwide audience, so it's cheaper to broadcast prerecorded programming.

It was the end of the one-year contract on the show so it likely wasn't a good financial move to renew the contracts for another year since the ratings were so low. There is a decent amount of staffing (writers, producers, camera operators) that has to be in place to produce a live show versus airing reruns.

or run other errands.

We often return after 3:00 and when I remember, I would tune in.

I hope that she can return with a revised format and time.

I certainly would rather have her than Mia Farrow's son.
