'Simpsons' among CBC's casualties


March 26, 2009 A day after announcing plans to cut as many as 800 jobs, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. on Thursday said it will cancel "The Simpsons" and "The Martha Stewart Show" in a cost-cutting maneuver. The pubcaster also said it will lower license fees and order fewer episodes of such popular Canadian TV series as "The Border," "Being Erica," and "Little Mosque on the Prairie" to deal with a growing advertising downturn. Other savings will come from the cancellation of daytime lifestyle series, a cut in expenditures on daytime kids programming and the end of some sports programming, including Toronto Blue Jays games.
