CHANNEL 4 is to cut out hit reality program SAS: Who Dares Wins after a run of eight series.
It comes in the midst of bits of gossip that the telecaster — home to The Incomparable English Heat Off, Gogglebox and Fabulous Plans — is evaluating large numbers of its long-running shows
The previous evening supervisors had to reject that case — however affirmed they were binning the cherished military preparation show, which sent off in 2015.
A television insider said: "Losing such a major name give is an upsetting indication for C4 as it faces a questionable future in a market which will be challenging for even the greatest telecasters and web-based features.
"Albeit the show's big name spin-off will keep, losing the non military personnel adaptation will be stressing given that it's one of the channel's most popular brands. The trepidation currently is that it very well might be an indication of what might be on the horizon."
The show's chopping out comes two years after its renowned boss educator, Insect Middleton, 42, was excused for what was depicted as his "own lead."
He was supplanted by entertainer and previous US Marine, Rudy Reyes, 51.
Channel 4 figured out how to evade the danger of privatization recently — yet fears have now gone to publicizing income.
It is conjecture to fall as much as 20% for stations, and insiders accept C4 will find it harder to climate than others.
Concerns developed further last week when a reboot of C4 show Four Weddings was canceled at the last possible moment.
A representative for C4 expressed: "Because of the immense outcome of Superstar SAS we have moved our concentration to focus on this strand. A more drawn out, eight-section series is to start recording in the mid year.
"It is completely false to propose that we are exploring all of our well established shows with the end goal of suspending them."
