There is some evidence that TELETOON didn't cancel Dragon Ball Z and Late Night Anime due to poor ratings. An email I recieved from pyriphlegthon@geocities.com gave me an email sent to him by TELETOON. It said:

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us and sorry it took so long to respond. You have been really patient!

Since all of our viewers have seen the Anime and Dragon Ball Z, we decided to give them a little break.

Although we are only six months old, we already have an impressive inventory of animated programs from around the world, and this is just the beginning. Like any other company, TELETOON works with a budget and the one for this year has already been spent. We now have to wait and see how much money will be available before we can commit to new acquisitions. Already this year 5 millions of dollars were invested in our programming and we will keep investing each season.

In the mean time, please keep visiting our website as all new acquisitions will be posted on the "What's new" page.

So apparently it's possible that the anime was cancelled not because of bad ratings but rather because of lack of funds and because Teletoon felt that after showing the same movies a lot of times that they should give it a break. Here is another place where TELETOON almost said the same thing. (April. 30, 1998)
