The show has experienced quite a ratings decline over the years since Jon Gosselin was on the show and the fifth season premiere attracted close to 10 million viewers. Without Jon, the renamed Kate Plus 8 premiered with 3.4 million viewers in June of last year. But by August, it settled into about 1.6 million viewers an episode.

TLC officially announced the series cancelation this past August. But, for those of you who still want to keep tabs on the Gosselin clan, Kate launched KatePlusMy8.com this week.
