Variety.com reports today on the cancellation of Stargate SG-1, which is being pitched as “transitioning off the air.” John Dempsey and Ben Fritz report:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ratings for the series’ original runs had fallen off from 2.55 million total viewers (Jan. 21-March 25, 2005) to 1.95 million in the current cycle (July 14-Aug. 18) on the Sci Fi Channel. But the series was still racking up a solid 1.13 million adults 25-54 and 1.02 million adults 18-49 during the last eight weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cancellation “was not a ratings-driven decision,” said Mark Stern, exec VP of original programming for the Sci Fi Channel. “We’re actually going out on a high note,” he said, as the net has given the production staff enough time to usher the series to a conclusion tying up all the loose ends.<\/p>\n

Stern said Sci Fi plans to use some of the cast members of “SG-1” on the successful “Stargate: Atlantis” sequel, now in its third season and still going strong.<\/p>\n

While it’s transitioning off the air, “Stargate” is moving into Internet downloads for the first time.<\/p>\n

MGM made a deal with Apple to start selling episodes of both “Stargate: SG-1” and “Stargate: Atlantis” on Monday. Studio put up several library episodes of each skein, and it will post new episodes for sale the day after they air on Sci Fi.<\/p>\n

Deal for Internet downloads is the first MGM has made with its vast TV library.”<\/p>\n
