In the Loop with iVillage is an American television program. The show is produced five days a week through the facilities of WMAQ-TV in Chicago, and airs exclusively on stations owned and operated by NBC. The program serves as a brand extension of the NBC Universal-owned iVillage website, which focuses on advice and issues of interest to women. The program is hosted by actress and comedian Kim Coles, season one The Apprentice winner Bill Rancic, and Ereka Vetrini, who also was in the first season of The Apprentice. The show features a number of regular 'special' correspondents, such as Jared Hoffa on Technology topics[1]. There are also interactive elements of the program which allows viewers to offer real-time feedback via the show's online chatroom.
This program was originally known as iVillage Live, which premiered on December 4, 2006 with virtually the same format. iVillage Live eminated from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, with Miami-based NBC station WTVJ responsible for the program's production. The show also aired on a one-day delay on Bravo when it launched, but the repeats ended on Bravo after three weeks. On September 4, 2007, NBC Universal Television and iVillage.com officially announced the relaunch of IVillage Live as In the Loop with iVillage [2].
At its initial launch, iVillage Live was hosted by Molly Pesce, Stefani "Sissy" Schaefer, and Guy Yovan, and featured contributions from Naamua Delaney and Bob Oschack. All five relatively unknown hosts were removed from the program when it was relaunched.
On February 18, 2008, an official announcement confirmed that the series has been cancelled[3]. Production of the daily series would continue until March 28, 2008.
