‘Sadly though, the economics of today and associated cost pressures across the entire industry has led to this decision.
‘I want to thank co-hosts Sally Obermeder and Ryan Phelan and the talented production team for all their efforts.’
Further, McPherson attributed the cancellation to ‘these difficult times’ in reference the COVID-19 pandemic.
The show, which has been on the air since 2013, had received steady ratings during its time on air.
