The AFL Footy Show has been axed by Channel 9 after 25 consecutive years on air.
The network released a statement late on Thursday night confirming production of the show had ceased.
This comes after the show hit an all-time ratings low of 53,000 viewers on May 2.
The new cast of Anthony 'Lehmo' Lehmann, Brendan Fevola, Neroli Meadows, Dylan Alcott and Shane Crawford were given less than two months on air.
Nine Melbourne Managing Director Matt Scriven confirmed the show would end after 735 episodes since it premiered in 1994.
“I want to thank the current hosts, Anthony Lehmann, Neroli Meadows, Dylan Alcott, Brendan Fevola and Shane Crawford, the former hosts of The Footy Show, and the hard working crew for their great contribution,” Mr Scriven said in a statement.
“It is with regret that The Footy Show will no longer be produced. It has been a tough decision to end the program that has been such a trailblazer, but sadly the new show has not captured audiences in the way we had hoped.
“Over the past three decades Nine has led the way with AFL entertainment and news programs and we will continue to do so, with the production of the award-winning Footy Classified and the Sunday Footy Show.
“We remain committed to the AFL and creating great AFL content, and we will continue to focus on new ways to engage audiences who love the code.”
