COPS has been on TV for 30 years, it debut on FOX in 1989 . LIVE PD is the new comer on the block in terms of shows that follow the duties of police officers. However you won’t see of them on your TV for a bit.
The Paramount Network has removed COPS from their regular programmer, which made up a good block of their line-up. It should be noted that Paramount has made no statement about the show’s removal.
A&E has also taken LIVE PD off air due to the George Floyd protest around the country. Speaking with Variety, A&E said:
Out of respect for the families of George Floyd and others who have lost their lives, in consultation with the departments we follow, and in consideration for the safety of all involved, we have made the decision not to broadcast ‘Live PD’ this weekend.
No word on when either of the shows will return.
