The daytime series "The Martha Stewart Show" will return for a fifth season in syndication in September, 2009, giving Martha the chance to cook and create for her viewers in at least 60% of the country, according to distributor NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution.

The series averaged a .7 in the November sweep, down from the previous November, but showing year-to-growth in most of the top 30 markets and on par with previous-week performances.

"We are pleased to have 'The Martha Stewart Show' back on many of our stations for a fifth season," says John Wallace, President, NBC Local Media. "Martha and the team behind her show continue to produce an entertaining daily program that resonates with our viewers."
