BREAKING. Cancelled, cancelled, renewed: The Finder is gone, Alcatraz is gone and Touch gets a second season.

Two shows M-Net acquired but haven't started broadcasting yet just got cancelled, and a third one thankfully got renewed for a second season despite low-erish viewership.

Alcatraz which will finally start on 29 May on M-Net won't go anywhere in the buzz stakes anymore - it just got cancelled - like Terra Nova did on M-Net. Ditto for The Finder which will start on 21 June on M-Net Series (DStv 110) - that show is also a gonner.

M-Net haven't yet started showing Touch, the new mystery drama from Kiefer Sutherland, but that at least got a reprieve and a second season.
