this is more likely because of the kardashians not being paid enough rather than the network not wanting it anymore. the kardashians were at the forefront of sponcon and social media fame. the same dipshits that whine about "famous for nothing" don't seem to realize that what they were famous for was their huge online presence. even if they don't manage to get a new show off the ground on some streaming platform for billions of dollars, their presence in the online sector plus the millions gotten from it and the fact that the kardashian grandkids are now getting to social media age means we'll be hearing from them for at least another decade. can't wait to hear about North West's feud with Blue Ivy or their wedding in the 2030s.
its like 99% of Cable right now, it only exists because when it comes to channels its either use it or lose it, and networks would rather lose millions than give up that spot. if they changed that dumb rule we'd be back down to 12 channels and still somehow paying $70 for it.
