American Journal (alternately titled American Journal: Coast to Coast for its final season; also known as AJ) is a syndicated television newsmagazine program that ran from 1993 to 1998. The series was distributed by King World Productions. It was hosted by Nancy Glass from its fall 1993 launch until 1997, when siblings Michele Dabney Perez and former newscaster-turned-talk show host Charles Perez took over for the show's final season on air. The show's tagline was "Stories Worth Watching".

History


The show was launched in 1993. In early 1996, as an attempt to grow in the 18-34 demographic, the show tried then aborted plans to add an "Off the Hook" segment; King World would try again with "Team A.J." coverage strands in the fourth season helmed by Karen Duffy and Steve Santagati.[2] By 1996, it was cleared on 124 stations serving 86 percent of the United States.[2] King World often packaged the series with an existing magazine distributed by the same syndicator, Inside Edition, which is still on the air today and has outlasted a number of in-house and outside competitors.


The theme song throughout the show's run was an arrangement of the Shaker tune "Simple Gifts."


The series ran from the fall of 1993 to the end of the 1997-1998 television season. At the time of its cancellation, it had a 4.1 rating and 11 share (in February 1998).[3] The low ratings were chalked up to a glut of similar programs, such as the since-cancelled A Current Affair, and Hard Copy (which would be canceled after the 1998-99 season due to being aired in mostly low-rated or overnight time slots by that point), expanding local newscasts (especially in the 5 p.m. hour) reducing the number of available evening time slots for the show, and the show's typical airing in a time slot opposite perennial ratings powerhouses Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! While King World already had commitments from stations serving 62 percent of the country to carry AJ in 1998, in the fall of 1997, 11 of the stations owned by Belo Corporation picked up the syndicated Hollywood Squares for the fall of 1998; which would have displaced American Journal to overnight graveyard slots.[4] Faced with weakening ratings and the potential loss of prime viewing slots, King World canceled the series after the 1997-98 season.
