BBC axes Live at the Apollo after 22 years

The BBC has axed Live at the Apollo after 22 years on air as part of a £500million budget cut.

End of an era for the comedy show

The decision brings the long-running stand-up comedy series to an end. The show had been a staple of BBC programming, showcasing comedians performing at the Hammersmith Apollo in London.

The cancellation is part of broader cost-cutting measures at the BBC, which is seeking to save £500million. No further details on the specific reasons for the show's axe have been released at this time.
