Where’s that info? All I found was this:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2073491/Sarah-Palin-reality-snubbed-networks-Has-America-finally-enough.html

Interest in the show began to wane, however, with viewing figures dropping to 3.2million - prompting the TLC channel to shelve plans for a second series.

Now the 47-year-old’s pitch for a new show has been turned down by both Discovery Communications, the owner of TLC, as well as A&E Networks - which last time around entered into a bidding war with Discovery.

Sarah Palin’s Alaska had sold for more than $1million an episode and sources claim Palin and producer Mark Burnett wanted a similar figure for their new collaboration, which would have been focused on Palin’s husband Todd and his career as a champion snowmobile racer.

So far, the networks have baulked at the steep asking price, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

OK, I found this more recent article, saying they’re still in talks for a season 2 of the show:

TLC offered her a second season and she turned them down.

Sarah Palin Negotiating Season 2 of Hit Reality Show

Sarah nixed it because it would have been in production when she was considering running.

Btw, The Daily Mail is a gossip rag. I trust them like I trust CNN and MSNBC.
