Several long-standing news programs, including “Entertainment Tonight” and “Inside Edition,” will continue their successful runs on CBS, assured of their places in the network’s lineup for the 2026-27 broadcast season. “Entertainment Tonight,” which debuted in 1981, and “Inside Edition,” which has been on air since 1989, have both secured two-season renewals as CBS Media Ventures solidifies its programming slate.
This move comes as CBS navigates various changes in its news telecasts, recognizing the strong audience engagement these shows have maintained over the years. In a statement released to Deadline, John Budkins, executive vice president of programming and syndication production for CBS Media Ventures, highlighted the impressive performance of their programming. “This upcoming slate reflects the incredible momentum across our entire portfolio,” he stated, noting that seven of the top ten most frequently aired syndicated titles are CBS productions.
The renewal of these programs stands in contrast to recent developments at NBC, where the network announced a significant overhaul that included the cancellation of established titles like “Access Hollywood.” Such shifts have led to speculation about the future of long-tenured shows like “Entertainment Tonight” and “Inside Edition.”
“Entertainment Tonight” has made television history by exceeding 10,000 episodes and holds the Guinness World Record for being the longest-running entertainment news program in TV history. The show has inspired numerous international iterations as well. On the other hand, “Inside Edition” stands as the longest-running newsmagazine not entirely dedicated to hard news.
Additionally, CBS Media Ventures has chosen to renew various other popular programs, including “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “Hot Bench,” “Wheel of Fortune,” and “Jeopardy!” “Entertainment Tonight” is set to launch its 46th season, while “Inside Edition” will return for its 39th season.
Fans of both shows are encouraged to express their thoughts on the renewal of these iconic programs, signaling continued interest and support for the longstanding traditions they represent in television.
