When a
television program
no longer receives enough
viewers
as they want it to have, the
television network
that is
broadcasting
the
tv show
will decide to cease purchasing additional
episodes
of the
program
. When this happens a show is "cancelled." In some cases a cancelled show may continue on as a privately sold program in
Syndication
. One example of this is the
tv program
"
Baywatch
."
Colloquially, when an
insurance company
decides to refuse to renew coverage on someone, typically with
automobile insurance
, it is said that the
insurer
has "cancelled" their insurance. Technically,
insurance
is only "cancelled" if an insurer immediately notifies someone that they are terminating coverage.
When a message, also known as an
article
is
posted
to a
Usenet
news group
and subsequently the
poster
wishes to revoke or take back the message, they send a
cancel
request to have the message cancelled.
When an item of
value
such as a
check
or a
ticket
has been
redeemed
for the
face value
or otherwise used, the item is marked non-reusable or "cancelled."
