View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe first season of Canada’s Got Talent aired in 2012 on Rogers Media’s City TV. However, the network canceled the reality show after one season.Rogers Media's President of Broadcasting Scott Moore cited the reason in a statement that read:“After careful consideration of all factors, including the current economic climate, Citytv has refocused its programming strategy and will not be producing Canada’s Got Talent for the 2012-13 season.”Since the reality TV show made a return after ten years, fans were excited to watch it. However, viewers were mostly left disappointed as CGT didn’t live up to their expectations.
