Bethenny Frankel’s Talk Show Close to National Syndication Deal

Truth rating: 9

(Warner Bros.)

Bethenny Frankel is about to go national.

Ratings for “Bethenny,” the former “Real Housewives of New York” star’s talk show, have been strong enough in six test markets that Fox is expected to announce a nationwide pickup of the syndicated series in 2013.

The show’s current six-week run on stations in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix and Minneapolis has mostly generated huge ratings increases over programming from the same time last year.

Its strong performance could mean countrywide syndication will be made official shortly.

“Bethenny” is produced, in part, by Ellen DeGeneres, whose studios have hosted the tapings of Frankel’s test shows.

Are you hoping to see “Bethenny” picked up nationwide?
