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?
Wow, Everytime you get someone new trying to rebrand it never works. Why not leave what works and what’s been bring your network ratings BGC, Sisterhood, preachers of atlanta, and prancing elites are good shows and don’t need to be cancelled.
I think you are making a big mistake Sisterhood was a good show it showed how women May fight but are united and work together that’s what a lot of the African-American Community needs we don’t need any more crime shows we got enough life is full of crime
I personally don’t think they should cancel BGC. Because the ratings and views are high, people actually look forward to watching BGC it’s been airing for a very long time. The least they could do is move it to a different channel instead of cancelling the show it doesn’t make sense. Why cancel a show if it’s doing great with the views and ratings?
I Really Don’t Think BGC Should Be Canceled I Mean That’s The Only Thing I Watch On Oxgyen I Mean At Least Put It On Another Channel I Mean Come On You Know That Was The Only Thing Giving Y’all Ratings. Now That Y’all Taking It Off Ratings Finna Be So Low. It’s Ashamed.
I used to really like watching BGC when it first started (of course I was alot younger…and now that I’m older…not so much). The main reason my attitude has changed about the show is because it’s turned into a show that glorifies bully’s and just let’s bullies get by with anything!! And the producers seem so double standard…they’ll let a bully stay on but send a non-bully home…I really could care less about it being cancelled.
Sorry Oxygen, but no one thinks of you as a “crime network.” Good luck with that dumb decision though…
Bad Girls Club has gone from ratings success to ratings nightmare… 17 seasons later it’s the right choice to put Old Yeller out of its misery.
Only reason I watch oxygen is because of a girl girls club. Just hope they put thought into this before taking them off the network . Very sad
Bad Girls Club is a good life lesson for me just like REAL WORLD. Both of these seasons Mary-Ellis & Jonathan did is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I do think that it should be sold to any network it’s available for. I hope OXYGEN knows what there doing because BAD GIRLS CLUB IS OXYGEN FOR ME.!
Y’all have got to be kidding me I have watch it from the very beginning all the way from season 1 through season 16 I waited all this time to turn 21 on March 6 for y’all to cancel!! So upsetting really enjoyed the show thought I could be in a season!!!
Same girl same I wanted to go into the Bgc house so bad
I am a bit disappointed that BGC will be cancelled. If Oxygen removes it, then hopefully another network will pick it up. I always thought it there was a BGC, then there should have been a BBC (Bad Boys Club) or even mix it up with BGWC (Bad Girls/Womens Club). I know the women would not have time to play around with the girls foolishness…LOL.
This is a big mistake! Hopefully someone picks up bad girls club and as for the rebranding, I don’t think we want that to be the whole station’s genre
I dont think it’s a good idea for bad girls club should end. It had many many views and if you look at the bigger picture at the end of each season they have all grown to be better in their own ways. Everyone had a purpose for being there. So the crime rate has nothing to do with this show.
It lost ratings so thats why it ended.
Noooo no BGC I like the show why would you cancell that to drop your ratings.
RATINGS are already low! Like LOW LOW LOW!
I don’t like the fact that BGC is ending. BGC needs to be on MTV OR VH1.
