Kuli gets cancelled; Headline on Mzansi Magic gets the axe after six seasons with final episode on 4 April.

Kuli Roberts' Headline is getting cancelled; Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) is not ordering another season of the show which no longer fits in with the ethos of what the channel wants to be.

The final episode of Headline with Kuli Roberts and Trevor Gumbi will be broadcast on Thursday 4 April, Mzansi Magic tells me.

The M-Net channel is realigning it content strategy to attract more viewers and Headline isn't seen as such a show which will draw more of the viewers Mzansi Magic wants.

"In the fast-paced world of television it is not unusual to refresh channel content and Mzansi Magic is currently changing its line-up to create a general entertainment channel that will entice even more people to enjoy our unique local content offering. As a result of these changes, we have decided not to commission Headline for a seventh season," Mzansi Magic tells me.

The channel says it "values" the passion, dedication and enthusiasm of the Headline production team and the faces of the show. "We hope to work with them on new concepts in the future."
