The TBS variety game show "Captain Domino," hosted by Minomonta, will be ending its run after only three months. The network cited low ratings as the reason for its termination.
The show was introduced in its Saturday prime time slot on April 28 as part of the network's spring programming shuffle. Producers had high hopes for the show, investing an estimated 100 million yen to construct a special studio for it. However, ratings started out at 6.2% and have failed to improve.
The final episode will air on July 21.
