Greek term or phrase: κόβονται
Στην βάση αυτή της λογικής λοιπόν θα μπορούσαν να αναπτυχθούν εκείνα τα μεθοδολογικά variables που θα αφορούσαν την εποχικότητα του προγράμματος και να εντοπιστούν με αυτό τον τρόπο οι διαφοροποιήσεις μεταξύ των καναλιών ως προς την εποχή που επιλέγουν για να κάνουν schedule το νέο πρόγραμμα τους αλλά και για να διαφανούν οι συγκλίσεις και οι διαφοροποίησης μεταξύ των ανταγωνιστικών προγραμμάτων κατά την διάρκεια της πρώτης τους εμφάνισης στο scheduling του καναλιού και πώς αντιδρούν και αναδομούνται – για παράδειγμα αν κόβονται στην πορεία ή αν αναδιαμορφώνονται – στηριζόμενοι στην πορεία της τηλεθέασης του ανταγωνιστικού προγράμματος αλλά και του κόστους της παραγωγής.

are cancelled
Explanation:
TV series tend to be "cancelled" (i.e. broadcasting the remaining episodes is cancelled). The verb "to cut" would also work here.

I'd actually avoid "cut" because, in TV/film, it often refers to editing, specifically to cutting scenes etc. You could re-phrase it and say that a series is "cut short" or "cut from the schedule", but "cancelled" is much easier I think.
