HGTV’s Timber Kings featuring the adventures and projects of Williams Lake’s own Pioneer Log Homes of B.C. will not be renewed for a fifth season.

Pioneer’s founder Bryan Reid Sr. told the Tribune Tuesday the company learned about the show’s cancellation a few weeks ago.

“There are other things in the world to do and we are not going to quit our marketing campaigns. It’s all part of a master plan,” Reid said from New Zealand where he has been for 19 days building a house. “I am on my way home.”

As for why the show is being discontinued Reid said it has been expensive to make.

“They have to follow us all around the world, it’s much easier to do a show in a kitchen when the camera guys and everyone goes home at night.”

Reid said the while the show’s cancellation is not “front page news” the fact it will play on TV for the next 15 or 20 years is great.

“It is like Bonanza and everything else, we’ll get our play out of it,” he said.

“They are not going to forget what the guys look like just because there are not new shows. Everybody’s happy with their decision because it’s a lot of extra work for us.”

In January 2014, the Timber Kings hit the airwaves, bringing Williams Lake and area to viewers around the world.
