Add the Television Critics Association’s 2025 summer tour to the growing list of events impacted by Hollywood’s continued contraction. During a meeting with members on Thursday, the organization’s leaders explained why the biannual press tour was canceled for the second time this year.
Because of negotiations with The Langham Huntington in Pasadena — the California hotel where the event has taken place for the past several years — TCA had to sign a contract by March 31 to lock in the discounted room rates for members. By the time that deadline approached, several networks were unsure if they would be able to commit to the event.
