(Nov.24) -- Daytime talker "The Tyra Banks Show" is moving to the CW's afternoon block in September, after airing in syndication for four seasons.
Economics played a role in its move out of syndication as stations are forced 
to make budget cuts amid the economic downturn. To cut costs, "Tyra's" production schedule will be cut to 26 weeks from 34, with an episode from the first four seasons airing at 3 p.m. and a new installment airing at 4 p.m. "Tyra" repeats also will continue to air in late-night on women's cable channel Oxygen.

Meanwhile, the CW is close to renewing Banks' "America's Next Top Model" for a 13th cycle.
"In journalistic terms, syndication is equivalent to ascending to heaven on a pillar of cloud."
