New York Post: TLC’s decision to ax “19 Kids and Counting” proved a costly one for its parent company. Discovery said restructuring costs rose by $19 million in the second quarter, mostly to reflect the cancellation of the show last month. The company booked $24 million in charges, up from $5 million a year ago, “due to content impairment charges from cancelling TLC’s ‘19 Kids and Counting,’” CFO Andy Warren said during a call with analysts. TLC canceled the reality show featuring the Duggar family in July after revelations that 27-year-old Josh Duggar molested five children, including four of his sisters.
