Corus Entertainment is cancelling Entertainment Tonight Canada after 18 seasons amid a “challenging advertising environment.”

“After more than 18 incredible seasons, we are ending production of Entertainment Tonight Canada. The costs of producing a daily entertainment newsmagazine show in a challenging advertising environment have led to this decision,” a spokesperson for Corus said in a statement, adding that “we recognize the impact this decision has on the dedicated team who have worked on the show and we thank them for their meaningful contributions over the years.”

The final episode of the Global TV show, which covers celebrity, film, television and music news, will air on Oct. 6, a spokesperson has confirmed to Playback Daily.

A series of encore specials will air in the same timeslot on Global until Oct. 31.

ET Canada is hosted by Cheryl Hickey, Sangita Patel, Carlos Bustamante, Keshia Chanté, and Morgan Hoffman.
