Nick Cannon Show

Nick Canon - Improv
Nick Cannon in Canada, 2010.

 Nick Cannon is the latest celebrity to enter the talk show circuit.  While he's syndicated, Syracuse has yet to pick up the show (this has happened with some other shows in the past that were late to come to the area, even network ones).  There is room on the major network affiliates where informercials and low-rated programmes could be moved to the graveyard shift.  Weekdays at 11 on CW 6 WSTM 3.3 seems to be the only place to go, although an encore showing will also be on Bounce, which is available through NewsChannel 9 WSYR (I've asked them to get the rights for the main channel, the ABC affiliate).  Not everyone can stream the show.  I have reached out to the shows Twitter and Facebook and am waiting to hear back.  Cannon will continue to host The Masked Singer on Fox on the west coast (flagship Fox 5 downstate is his as well on the east coast).  CW 6 said they may not have room right now, but if his friend Wendy Williams can't start the latest series of her own show because of health issues, then Page Six, the gossip column, says he may get her spots and it's up to each affiliate, so hope springs eternal.  Until then, he has a YouTube feed if you can get that, but it's just not enough.

UPDATE: The show has been cancelled due to low ratings.  No wonder CNY Central never bothered.
