NBCUniversal announced on March 27, 2014 that it would close down "Television Without Pity" on April 4, with the forums remaining open until May 31; this closure was announced alongside that of "DailyCandy", and a few months after closure of "iVillage", both websites acquired through NBCUniversal and its subsidiaries. NBCUniversal had tried to shop the site around, and find ways to monetize its content better, but could not find a way to make the site viable in that then-current environment. Initially, the site's archives would have been stored electronically and not available to the public, but by demand, NBCUniversal affirmed it would make the recaps and archives of the forums available after the site's closure. The archives were eventually hosted under the "Brilliant But Cancelled" website.
