“Jon & Kate Plus 8″ Renamed “Kate Plus Eight”
Jon Gosselin has been unceremoniously dumped from Jon & Kate Plus 8. The TLC reality hit has been renamed Kate Plus Eight, the network, announced Tuesday.

The series will be adapting to changes in the Gosselin household, which for months has been disrupted by the Gosselin’s messy divorce. After months of rumored infidelity by both Jon and Kate, the warring couple announced their split on an episode that aired in June. The rechristened Kate Plus Eight begins airing Nov. 2 and will continue to shadow the lives of the family’s eight multiples under age 10 while casting adeeper focus on Kate’s role as a single mother, TLC said Tuesday.
Jon will continue to appear on the show, but less frequently.
“Given the recent changes in the family dynamics, it only makes sense for us to refresh and recalibrate the program to keep pace with the family,” said Eileen O’Neill of TLC. “The family has evolved and we are attempting to evolve with it; we feel that Kate’s journey really resonates with our viewers. Additionally the network is in development on a Kate project for 2010.”
Jon & Kate Plus 8, which premiered in 2007, airs Mondays @ 9PM on TLC.
