WLNY’s morning show “Live From the Couch” is dead.
The two-hour show launched in July 2012 and featured hosts Carolina Bermudez and WCBS/Ch.2 meteorologist, John Elliott.
The show, which suffered from low ratings, languished in a competitive timeslot against powerhouses like “Good Morning America,” “Today” and local shows like Fox 5’s “Good Day New York” and WPIX’s “PIX Morning News.”
Staffers learned about the show’s demise shortly after Friday’s telecast ended. About five people, including Bermudez, have lost their jobs, station sources said.
Elliott will continue at WCBS/Ch.2, which shares its West 57th St. broadcast center with the CBS-owned affiliate with deep ties to Long Island.
It can be seen on channels 10 or 55 throughout the New York metro area depending on its cable or satellite carrier.
Starting Saturday, the two-hour timeslot will be filled with programming from around the channel’s schedule, including syndicated shows like “Ok! TV,” “The Better” and “The Insider.”
A station rep declined to comment.
