For 17 years the Street Cents gang reviewed products and discussed issues relevant to younger viewers, from video games to emergency contraception.
The show, produced out of Halifax, has won national and international awards, including seven Geminis and an international Emmy.
But the CBC says its target audience of preteen and teen viewers has dwindled over the past few years.
The last episode will air Oct. 1.
