***It'll be no more Reba on The CW after a one-hour series finale on Sunday, Feb. 18.
The network announced Thursday that it's dropping the countrified sitcom, which stars Reba McEntire as divorced Texas soccer mom Reba Hart. Reba had a six-year lifespan, which made it the now defunct WB's longest-running comedy series. The show premiered on Oct. 5, 2001 and survived to see a partial sixth season when it made its way to CW last November.
***Sportscaster Bob Costas has been named to host the prestigious George Foster Peabody Awards, which will have a 66th annual luncheon ceremony on June 4 at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Manhattan. This year's winners will be announced on April 5 from the University of Georgia.
