TLC announces 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' will be relaunched as 'Kate Plus 8'

It's "Kate Plus Eight," minus Jon.

After weeks of tumbling ratings and a constant barrage of tabloid stories following the stars of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," TLC is going in a different direction.

Starting in November, the show will be relaunched as "Kate Plus Eight," TLC revealed Tuesday. nydailynews

Kate Gosselin has always made it clear that, despite her divorce from Jon, the show must go on -- and it will, but without Jon.

Starting Nov. 2, "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will be rechristened "Kate Plus Eight." In a press release sent to ABCNews.com on Tuesday, TLC announced that it was adapting the show to evolve with the changes in the Gosselin family. abcnews

TLC has confirmed that “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ will relaunch this fall as “Kate Plus 8.” Set to “include a deeper focus on Kate’s role in the family and her journey as a single mother building the next chapter in her life,” the show will still feature Jon Gosselin in an executive and recurring appearance capacity, but he will no longer be a focal point.

THRFeed.com reports that the network ultimately deemed Kate’s single mother story the most compelling in the wake of the couple’s much-publicized split. headlineplanet
