Popular paranormal television series is leaving New York because of the economy.  It originally was being filmed here in Toronto, then went to New York and is now heading back to Canada, this time Vancouver.

Fringe had originally moved to New York to Long Island’s Silvercup Studios to take advantage of New York’s popular film and television tax incentives, but the state program has run out of money, Variety is reporting.

The $515 million set aside to expand tax breaks and extend the program to 2013 was gone by the beginning of 2009 and there are currently no plans to reinvest, the industry trade reported.

I guess regardless of where the show is filmed, as long as the show remains on air is all that matters, am I right?
