Canadian Idol is...Idle.

December 17 2008, 03:20 PM

Although it is their #2 rated show, CTV has suspended the 2009 series of Canadian Idol. Apparently it is quite expensive to produce, and CTV is predicting decreases in advertising revenue.

Good.

Can Americans and the rest of the world be so lucky?

While the program and brand has done lots for advertisers, what has it actually done to promote new talent? Hopefully Canadian radio will now be able to focus on artists that actually have a developing career rather than marginal karaoke singers.

But...to be fair, Canadian Idol DID have one memorable moment that makes the whole series worthwhile. See the video clip below.
