Is Chess.com not producing any new Chess Center episodes?

Someone created a thread about this in the Chess.com Community forum but it got little attention. I am curious about the answer so I thought I'd try here in the General forum.

I first discovered Chess Center during the last World Championship and thought the show was an EXCELLENT idea. I continued to watch new episodes, even if they were (frustratingly) only produced rarely.

I thought the entire concept of the show was excellent and we could really use a chess news show, so does anyone know if the plug has been pulled or if we'll get more episodes in the future?

And if chess.com has decided not to produce new episodes, why?

They were really a feature during the last world championship match.

I look for them to come back next month.

The last WC was when I first encountered CC, but several episodes were produced after that. For a while it seemed that there was a new episode at approximately one month intervals.

From what I can tell, this was the last one:

It was released 10 months ago. Personally, what I'd really like to see is an episode a week and I think there's enough chess news to justify that, or every two weeks at the longest. 

I certainly hope you're right that it's coming back next month. As a weak recreational player, ChessCenter REALLY helped me understand the games better and I also just thought it was cool and fun to have a post-game show like that.

I guess no one has an answer on this?

Does anyone know if the show is returning for the World Championship? Or know of any alternatives?
