The second season of Whistler has turned out to be its last. CTV has cancelled the prime-time soap, the future of which had been up in the air since its sophomore run ended on Dec. 15.

Positioned as a high-end drama and budgeted at $1.4 million per episode, the Sunday-night series premiered with an aggressive push in June 2006. But it was soon bounced to Mondays and again to Fridays, and ended its first 13 episodes with a soft season average of 402,000. (All numbers are 2+.)
