“I’m so heart broken that you are ending,” another said.

The show aired live three times a day Monday through Friday from 12:30 pm – 1 pm, 2pm – 6pm, and 7:30 pm – 8 pm.

The broadcast talk show aired in dozens of Tenga-owned television markets across the country as well as on Facebook and YouTube.

When announcing the show’s cancelation in June, Tenga thanked the hosts and staff for their hard work.

“Daily Blast Live will be sunset after this season’s final show on Friday, Sept. 6,” the company said in a statement.

“We wish to thank our incredibly talented on-air talent and production team for bringing daytime viewers seven seasons of energetic, humorous, and thoughtful debate.

“We look forward to celebrating DBL’s best moments in the coming months ahead of the show’s conclusion.”

At the time, Tenga did not reveal exactly why the talk show would cease to air, instead calling it a “business decision,” according to Radio and Television Business Report.

Shortly after the announcement, thousands of fans banded together to start a petition in order to keep the talk show on the air.

“Over the past seven years, DBL has become a staple in the lives of many viewers,” the Change petition’s description read.

“The show’s unique blend of trending topics, compassionate discussions, and diverse viewpoints has set it apart from other programs.

“The hosts have become like family, providing not just information, but also comfort and a sense of community.”

Several supporters of the show shared video testimonies of why they wished to keep watching Daily Beast Live and over 9,600 people signed the petition.

However, social media posts from frequent guests have revealed that the talk show is still on track to air its final broadcast next week.

Kimmy Seltzer, an expert frequently featured on the show, revealed on Tuesday that she had filmed her last segment ahead of the final broadcast.

“And that’s a wrap…a bitter sweet segment on @DailyBlastLIVE for the final episode before the show ends,” she wrote in a post to X.

“Thank you for having me on and allowing me to spread the love.”
