I thought it was just rumor, but it ends up being true.

In a statement issued by CTV late Tuesday, it announced the reality series that lets Canadians vote on new singing talent will take a one-year sabbatical in 2009 "as a result of the current economic climate."

Well, that is sad. I watched it online last season and really enjoyed it! Does Theo have a cd out yet?

I don't know the situation with Theo, Mak1.

What I am curious about is Canada's reaction to no Idol next year. I know here in the US they would be freaking out.

Hey Jimmer, I think you're in Canada...Is there rioting in the streets? (LOL)

Well this is the first that I've heard about it - so I guess that says something.

Perhaps Canada is getting a little burned out. After all we get the entire AI season and then that is followed up with the Canadian Idol. It's too bad because I think Canada has great talent, though I usually don't agree with the voting.

I just read this in the paper on Thursday, the article said it may be the end of the road for it here.

On the other side, Mark Burnett is importing one of the judges and the premise of Dragon's Den, I beleive the American version will be called Shark's Tank.
