CBC-TV drops 'Royal Canadian Air Farce' after more than 15 years on air
TORONTO - CBC-TV's long-running comedy show "Royal Canadian Air Farce" is reaching the end of the road after 15 years on the air.
The producers of "Air Farce" have informed the cast and crew that there will be a truncated, 10-episode farewell season starting in the fall. The final show of the sketch comedy series will air on New Year's Eve.
Don Ferguson, one of the stars of "Air Farce," speculated that the new regime of programming executives at the CBC likely felt the show had passed its prime, but said he was happy to move onto new things.
But he acknowledged others on the show, including Luba Goy, were upset that the show was ending its run.
The show debuted on CBC Radio in December 1973 and boasted more than 600 radio broadcasts over 24 years before making the leap to television in 1993. Its last radio broadcast was in 1997.
In 2007, it returned to a live format with "Air Farce Live."
