Hello, communicators:
Ellen DeGeneres has announced that her talk show will end after its upcoming 19th season and she will seek new challenges and opportunities as a creative person. Embedded in the announcement was the news from earlier this year that her show lost over a million viewers since returning to the air this past September, a 43% decline that marked a steeper drop in viewership than any of the show’s competitors, which many attribute to allegations of a toxic workplace culture on set.
