March 25, 2015 11:56

The Australian Financial Review and Nine Network have axed the business current affairs show Financial Review Sunday after two years.

A spokeswoman for Nine today confirm the axing telling Mumbrella “it wasn’t commercially sensible to return the show this year”.

The program was launched in 2013 with Fairfax promoting the TV program, hosted by Deborah Knight, as the “perfect complement to our print and digital offerings across the rest of the week.”

Fairfax Media told Mumbrella today that “advertising support was not sufficient” to allow the show to continue any further into 2015.
