Cue Animotion’s Obsession theme song one last time: Fashion Television, Jeanne Beker’s 27-year-old series that brought style to the masses, has suspended production.
News first leaked out Wednesday morning via a tweet from FT host Beker that read: “This dream is over: After 27 glorious years, FT production ceased today. So sad to see some of my closest colleagues move on.” (She later added she was “looking forward to working with Bellmedia + evolving the FT brand.”)
A spokesman for Bell Media later confirmed the news, telling the Post in an email that “production on Fashion Television has been suspended; the company thanks founding producer Jay Levine for his dedication to the series for more than two decades and wishes him well in his future endeavours. The series remains on the air.

my CSB: My mom took me on a tour of the CityTV building in the 90's (letting me skip school that day), and when we got to the FT offices, Jeanne was there. She was so down to earth and funny, and put up with 15 year old me asking her a TON of questions about the industry.
