Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew Who Do You Think You Are? for season 12? A decade ago, the network cancelled this series after three seasons. The economics of broadcast television have changed a lot over the years as more and more people shift to delayed viewing and streaming. Though the traditional ratings could be a lot better, I suspect this documentary series generates enough revenue to see it renewed, likely as a short-run annual “event”.
