NBC 5 KXAS Dallas-Fort Worth is adding more newscasts to its schedule following the cancellation of two longtime NBCUniversal-produced syndicated shows.
According to TVPassport, starting Monday, August 31, 2026, KXAS will debut NBC 5 News at 3pm to replace The Kelly Clarkson Show and NBC 5 News at 6:30pm to take over for Access Hollywood.
NBC 5's Education Reporter Wayne Carter says he will anchor the 3 p.m. newscast in addition to his school reporting. No word yet on who will anchor the 6:30 North Texas newscast.
Kelly Clarkson chose to end her talk show to prioritize her kids.
Variety reported earlier this year that "Access Hollywood” and “Access Hollywood Live” as well as talk shows “Karamo” and “The Steve Wilkos Show” were all getting canceled due to audience fragmentation in the streaming age.
