Answer
Hi Vilia,

This is a press release from the WB network,-

"IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT ANGEL
A statement from The WB:
For the last seven years Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been cornerstones of our network. The sum total of the work done on those shows has produced some of the proudest moments in our history. Like some of the great series that are leaving the air this year, including Frasier and Friends, the cast, crew, writers and producers of Angel deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last year of the series on The WB. We have discussed continuing the Angel legacy with special movie events next year, which is still on the table. In a perfect world, all of these details would be completed before this information went to the press so that we could be definitive about the show's ongoing future. But in any case, we did not want to contemplate this being the last year of Angel without giving the show the option of crafting their own destiny for this character and for this series. David Boreanaz continues to be one of the finest, classiest and friendliest actors we have had the pleasure to work with and we hope that the relationship furthers from here. The same can be said for all the actors and producers on the show. "

More information can be found at www.cityofangel.com which has an extensive list of sites about Angel and Buffy, such as www.savingangel.org  www.saveangel.org  saveangelrally.com and  www.renewangel.com

Cityofangel.com also has a great news archive section with articles from soundtrack updates to the cancellation to cast marriages. These can be found at

I can't seem to find the reason for its cancellation- it just seems to be that its ratings although more consistent than Buffy is not high enough.

Other places to try- the magazines- TV Zone and Angel magazine.

Hope that has helped, good luck with your project.

Yours H Louise
