Keeping Up With the Kardashians Axed After Family Asks for Bigger Paychecks

U.S.

Kim Kardashian West announced that her family’s eponymous TV show will be leaving the airwaves in a statement to fans this week.

She did not explain the reason for the show’s end.

Sources say the family had requested more money to renew contracts for the show but that the E! Networks, facing steadily-declining ratings for the show over the last several years, was unwilling to increase the size of the show’s contract.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a reality TV show in which its stars are famous simply for being famous, has been on the air for 14 years.
