Global Sports, the daily half an hour round up of sports on Global Toronto, will be going off the air after 25 years.

The Toronto Star reports that the show’s last airing will be tonight, and that anchor Jim Tatti will not be behind the desk for it.

The Star says that Tatti, who was also sports director for the station, was fired yesterday. Global says the decision was made due to the fact it could not compete with specialty cable sports networks, such as TSN, Sports Net, and others.

“This was a business decision. The show just found it harder and harder to compete against the specialty shows … to go up against their resources,” said Ron Waksman, news director for Global TV, Ontario.
