MTV TRL to be cancelled... BET's Rap City next?


MTV confirmed that they will be cancelling TRL’s ten year run…Now we hear that BET has decided to canel BET Rap City. The economy must be really bad! We hear that the show will have its last day on the air on October 26th, 2008. No word yet as to which show will be taking its place in BET’s weekly line up.

Dave Sirulnick, executive producer of ‘Total Request Live, spoke with the Associated Press about MTV’s decision to end the program’s ten year run. “Ten a great number,” Sirulnick said. “This feels like the right time and let’s celebrate it and let’s reward it.” He added “Let’s let it have a little bit of a rest for a minute. Been working hard for 10 years!” The show will end in November with a special 2-hour show, taking place on a Saturday.

Sirulnick said he hopes to celebrate ‘TRL’ the finale with many of the “folks who helped make `TRL’ what it is — whether that’s Justin (Timberlake) and his guys in *NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys, Britney, Eminem — I think we would love to see all of them here.” That would also include the show’s original host, Carson Daly.
