After months of uncertainty, the Seven network has confirmed the news to TV Tonight, following a disappointing 2016 season for the show, despite the addition of big-name judges Adam Lambert and Iggy Azalea. “X Factor is not coming back,” Seven’s Head of Programming Angus Ross says. “Obviously the back half of the year wasn’t as successful as the front half of the year for us… “But we are very hard markers on ourselves, versus others. Some numbers that may get a pass mark on other networks don’t get a pass mark with us. So we have a number of slots to fill and over the next couple of months we’ll be announcing a lot more.” Late last year it appeared that Seven was still considering The X Factor‘s future, despite not having renewed the show for a new season or having set up any new auditions. Earlier this year, X Factor judge Guy Sebastian told News Corp Australia, that he thought speculation of the show’s demise was “probably fairly accurate”, as it “was a disappointing year”. The 2016 edition of The X Factor Australia was won by teenager Isaiah Firebrace, and for some reason also featured an appearance by American metal band Disturbed, who performed their cover of ‘The Sound Of Silence’ on the programme. Nine’s The Voice is now only big-name singing show still on the airwaves. RIP X Factor. Watch: Isaiah – ‘It’s Gotta Be You’ (The X Factor Australia)
