Hong Kong Canceling Millionaire
Hong Kong may be the first international market to pull the plug on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire following declining ratings. The South China Morning Post reported today (Thursday) that the quiz show, which drew 2.5 million viewers during its opening five months ago, has seen the number plummet to 1.1 million currently. A spokesman for Hong Kong's ATV told the newspaper: "We are concerned the audience may be getting bored." Host Ken Chan suggested that it had been a mistake to make the show a five-night-a-week feature (up from three- when it debuted). "Five nights a week is too much," he said. "Viewers get the same host and same game and they are bound to become bored."

Hopefully it won't be much longer here. I'm getting sick and tired of Regis. Hail to The Weakest Link!
