Thursday (Feb. 26), PageSix reports the Kardashians and the E! network are making history. A $100 million-plus deal has persuaded the family to remain with the network for another four years -- the largest deal ever for reality TV.
While Comcast, E!'s parent company, is keeping the details of the deal close to the vest, it's known that if the company's proposed merger with Time Warner Cable is finalized, Comcast plans to save by spending less on its other content.
The "Keep Up With The Kardashians" deal covers a minimum of four more seasons as well as spin-offs, including "Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons." E! execs also think the family's prevailing social media presence will propel future digital endeavors.
Although often appearing on "KUWTK," Kanye West is not part of the deal, but he will "continue to appear" on the show. Ryan Seacrest, the show's creator, is also rumored to be receiving a generous fee.
