Channel Seven has axed two of its flagship footy shows, with Game Day and Talking Footy set to be put on the shelf.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the network particularly hard, resulting in the decision.
Channel Seven Head of Network Sport Lewis Martin said they have been forced to make some tough decisions.
"As a consequence of COVID-19 we have seen tough and difficult decisions being made right across sport and we at Seven are no different," Martin told AFL Media.
"Talking Footy and Game Day have set the agenda in AFL circles for so many years and we hope with favourable conditions returning this will be a temporary hiatus for both."
The Front Bar however will continue on and returns to television this Thursday.
