NBC Pulls Kings From Sunday Nights

NBC is pulling Kings from Sunday nights starting this week. The show will be replaced with a second hour of Dateline, which will now run for two hours starting at 7 pm. Last Sunday’s episode received a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49, while Dateline had a 1.5 in its half-hour leading into the drama. The network believes that Dateline will provide a better lead-in for Celebrity Apprentice at 9pm, which has been losing viewers recently.

The remaining eight episodes of “Kings” will air on Saturday nights at 8 p.m. starting April 18.
