‘Family Feud’ moving production to L.A.

- RODNEY HO

After eight seasons, hardy game show “Family Feud” is leaving Atlanta for Los Angeles.

Why? Host Steve Harvey got the show here in the first place (with the added incentive of generous state tax credits for the producers). For most of those seasons, it has shot at the Atlanta Civic Center, with a brief foray at the Georgia World Congress Center.

But with Harvey’s syndicated talk show shifting from Chicago to Los Angeles and his syndicated radio show moving to Los Angeles from Atlanta, the very busy comic is clearly trying to consolidat­e as much of his work in a single city. He has been shooting “Family Feud” in Atlanta right after his talk show ended in Chicago, usually in the summer time. It appears he is shooting part of his eighth season in Atlanta, then shifting partway through to L.A.

The page to sign up to be in the audience has a note “Coming to Hollywood.” beginning in August. It will be shot from now on at CBS Television City.

He is now doing five TV shows: “Family Feud,” ABC’s “Celebrity Family Feud,” NBC’s “Little Big Shots,” ABC’s “Steve Harvey’s Funderdome” and his newly revamped L.A.-based talk show starting this fall called “Steve.” Plus, he continues to do his syndicated radio show.

“Family Feud” airs multiple times in the evening on CW69 in Atlanta.

His radio show is heard locally on Majic 107.5/97.5.

His talk show airs at 3 p.m. on Fox 5 (WAGA-TV).
