MediaBuyerPlanner: NBC left Trump’s Apprentice off the fall schedule, waiting to see the upfront presentations of the other networks before deciding the show’s fate. But Trump didn’t give the network the chance.
Four days after the show was left off the fall schedule, Trump quit the show, claiming he was moving on to a major new TV venture, writes Media Life.
Apprentice has been sliding since its first season. The show averaged a 3.1 adults 18-49 in its sixth and last year, less than half of what it averaged during its first season in spring 2004.
