What the heck was that channel? Where was it available?
And the Next Cancelled Show is...

If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, does it make a sound?
Some questions have no answers. I honestly have no clue, but by the article I'm questioning if it was even a real station.
There was a channel called The Audience Network? Never heard of it! 
Me, either. Sounds like a channel with lots of pictures of audiences.There was a channel called The Audience Network? Never heard of it!

Or maybe defying expectations, like
Music TV
American Movie Channel
History Channel
Over in the UK, it looks like they're closing Universal (channel) this month.
Wow! I love American Horror Story, so that's great news. It really is such a well done show. I also love that you don't have to watch every season. There are a couple that I just wasn't interested in (Asylum, Hotel) so I didn't bother with, yet I can jump right into the next season without having lost anything.
I’d like them to get back to delving more deeply into the aliens storyline that was hinted at in several prior seasons.
Yeah I saw that. YouTube is like TV and more people watched College Humour in 2020 alone than watched The Audience Channel in the 2 decades it was a thing.
I saw lots of shows listed in torrent lists, but had no idea they came from that network. I knew the shows existed, but would have attributed them to other obscure channels lmao.
Screen Junkies just got through a crisis, but was saved when bought by Fandom Entertainment.
Collider, as I see it, suffered a bit from the break-away of the Schmoedown into its own YT channel with its own entertainment journalism shows/podcasts, and that is in no small amount financed by Patreon and ticket sales to live events.
Just like political commentary shows, entertainment shows have suffered from Adpocalypse, the stricter rules for YouTubers, so that swearing and the like led to demonetization, and quite a few are not ready to censor themselves (Screen Junkies follow the mandate by Fandom, though). Thus, financing outside of YT monetization seems to be essential, and when that doesn't work out, they go under.

It was a Direct TV Network, ran shows like Rogue and Condor (Three Days of the Condor the series).
New Amsterdam,Rogue and Condor? These are tv shows? Not only that one I guess is popular enough to try and make a franchise out of it? Makes me wonder. We all know tons of tv shows go unnoticed these days. How many unknown franchises are out their? Shows or movies with many sequels or spin-offs and we don't know any of them or maybe just the one that started it all.

Never seen it but I'm somewhat familiar with New Amsterdam (Mostly because of the cast).
Rogue I hadn't heard of, but I did watch Condor when it aired here

Rogue was a decent thriller and ran for 50 episodes. it's pretty rare though that even a successful TV series can be turned into a frachise. I'm not really sure that New Amsterdam has it in it to be a start of another Chicago ****, but you never know. Who'd have thought there was enough material to work with to keep 3 NCIS shows on the air at the same time.
Speaking of unnoticed TV shows, there are so many different networks, streaming services, international distributors etc., one has to some work do learn what's out there. For instance, BYUTV ran a short scifi series called Extinct in 2017 that didn't last long but was decent, IMO. And Sony Crackle has a robot chicken style Superhero comedy series featuring Robert Cranston and Chris Pine that I've enjoyed immensely called Supermansion. From what I've heard, Robbie and Stephen Amell's Code 8 is being turned into a series on Quibi, which is another streamer to maybe pay attention to as they are planning a whackload of content starting in April.
