Looks like nobody has picked up the show yet. It's interesting because it's normally one of the highest rated talk shows in daytime, usually 2nd to Dr. Phil. I get that it's expensive, but was it not pulling in enough viewers in Flint to justify the cost?
Considering that Grey TV, who owned ABC12 when this decision was made, is about to take over TV5, that doesn’t seem to be an option. Sinclair, owning NBC25 and FOX66, seems to be content with B and C list alternatives and probably doesn’t want to spend the cash.

Live with Kelly and Ryan is one of the most expensive syndicated shows on TV right now. There’s no way with 25-66’s lack of ratings that we could afford the show.
