NBC News Cancels ‘Stay Tuned’ Streaming Show Amid Staff Cuts
Gadi Schwartz will remain with the network as NBC News Now replaces its 8 p.m. show with reruns The post NBC News Cancels ‘Stay Tuned’ Streaming Show Amid Staff Cuts appeared first on TheWrap .
NBC News has discontinued Gadi Schwartz's primetime streaming show "Stay Tuned Now" and is cutting staff positions as part of a network-wide realignment. The show's final episode was broadcasted on Wednesday, and the 8 p.m. time slot will now feature reruns, while the network shifts focus toward areas of future growth. NBC News Now, the network's free ad-supported streaming service, has achieved record growth in 2025, marking its seventh consecutive record year.
Despite this success, the network decided to cancel "Stay Tuned Now," with the eliminated positions accounting for less than 1% of the news division's workforce. Gadi Schwartz will remain employed by NBC News. Affected producers may apply for nearly 50 open positions, including roles at "Dateline" and in the news specials department.
"Stay Tuned Now" was launched in March 2023 as an extension of NBC News’ "Stay Tuned" brand, targeting younger audiences on digital platforms. It covered breaking news, tech, science, and stories beyond traditional Washington and New York news cycles. The cancellation occurred just three months after NBC News Now expanded its lineup with "Current with Christine Romans," a weekday program covering breaking news, business, and the economy.
The service now airs 14 hours of live weekday programming, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, with additional programming like "Top Story with Tom Llamas" filling the slot vacated by "Stay Tuned Now."
