"Canadian Idol" is being put on the shelf, CTV says. The program finished its sixth season this fall and remained a Canadian TV ratings success. It scored an average of 1.47 million viewers in September.
However, CTV decided to not produce the costly reality show in a year when advertising revenues are expected to drop sharply.
CTV said in a statement late Tuesday that it isn't canceling the popular show altogether. It noted that international versions of "Idol" took "rests" and returned for another season.
