HBO cancels Bill Simmons’ ‘Any Given Wednesday'

HBO has pulled the plug on Bill Simmons' sport talkshow Any Given Wednesday after one season. Ratings were porous and Simmons accepted all of the blame. "We loved making that show, but unfortunately it never resonated with audiences like we hoped. And that’s on me. But I love being a part of HBO’s family and look forward to innovating with them on other ambitious programming ideas over these next several years — both for the network and online," The show wraps up its final episode on Nov. 9.
