Oxygen is making some serious cuts. Deadline reports the network is planning on cancelling the series Bad Girls Club, Sisterhood of Hip-Hop, and Battle of the Ex Besties as part of its rebranding as a crime-themed network.
Additionally, Oxygen is also reviving the cancelled TNT series Cold Justice and has ordered a new show called The Jury Speaks. Both are slated to debut later this year.
Bad Girls Club, Sisterhood of Hip-Hop, and Battle of the Ex Besties will end when Oxygen rebrands itself this coming summer. Bad Girls Club is one of Oxygen’s longest-running programs. The unscripted series ended its 16h season in December and has a planned 17th season set to debut on February 14th at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
From Oxygen chief Frances Berwick:
We have a long history in the crime genre. The recent expansion of our Crime Time weekend block has enjoyed double-digit gains and has really resonated with our female audience. What’s interesting is that many younger viewers are now finding that programming. What a tremendous explosion of people following crime online, from podcasts to social chat. It’s certainly really encouraging; we’ve always had a very avid fan base for crime programming, and it feels the right moment to go all in.”
What do you think? Do you watch Bad Girls Club, Sisterhood of Hip-Hop, and/or Battle of the Ex Besties? Are you sad they’re ending?
They should at least move it to a different channel BGC was my favorite show i memorized the times it came on and the days I’m so sad it’s gone
I absolutely love BGC I don’t think it should be cancelled just for the fact that it helped me be more confident and stand up for what I believe!!!!!
I loved battle of the ex besties the competition was real!!!! Fun and exciting with a lil twist of drama !
Are y’all crazy….Do you know how many people been down for bgc…me personally been apart of bgc family since the first episode and season…..it’s messed up y’all cancelling it….y’all think this is helping the network by cancelling all this shows but it’s really going to bring y’all down….but hey that ain’t my cup of tea….I just hope another network will be smart enough to pick bgc back up cause it’s obvious y’all lack of smartness and brains in the oxygen network
Someone needs to fire francis theres enough crime in the world , let the news channels handle that genre and put bgc back on the air. Theres a reason why bgc has lasted. Its not just about fighting .
Some of us girls watch because we are real life BAD GIRLS. And we actually learn from the show.
Theres a whole new generation off bad girls yet to come.
Your ratings will drop. Bad Call Francis.
yes i’m very upset their leaving i love bad girls club and i just got into battle of the ex bhesties, can’t they get their own network channel . i think it’ll be a good thing hopefully they will come back with their own channel ill be looking forward to it
I’ve watched Bad Girl’s Club since season one. I was hooked. And habe watched every season after. Each hooking you in. A show that you grow to like or dislike these girls and truly become part of the group somehow. But Making Oygen all crime is a HUGE mistake. Sad! This show should be sold to another station. It’s that addicting.
Bad girls club is probably on of the most viewed shows on Oxygen. For them to take it off the air, they made a tremendous mistake and it’s completely outrageous! If you cancel bad girls club, you might as well take the channel off air too because it’s not going to last without it. #Goodbyebgc #tears
it’s like they proud that young kids and young women like watching wifes killing their husbands. They ruin what BGC was and made it just about fights.
Okay so I understand canceling battle of the ex besties and sisterhood hip hop but BAD GIRLS CLUB??? You guys deff made a terrible decision… hopefully another network picks it up and makes even more money than oxygen did
WHAT THE ****?! they can’t just cancel these show so they’re the last very few good tv shows still out there … wow!!!
Sisterhood of hip hop has actually been one of the very few shows I personally enjoy on tv. I love the story lines, the adversity & adore the heart of the music, also I respect the hard work these ladies put into attempting to be successful. They have their drama but seem to bring it back together when necessary.
I believe another network will pick up this show. No offense but it’s the ONLY read I watch the network
