Oxygen Media Acquires Exclusive Rights To “America’s Next Top Model”

September 28, 2008 12:00:21 by Paulene Hinds

Oxygen has acquired the exclusive cable rights to the reality competition series “America’s Next Top Model.” The announcement was made last week by Jason Klarman, General Manager, Oxygen Media.

The network will bring viewers all the “Top Model” fashion challenges, photo shoots and model mayhem as the full library of the hit series joins Oxygen in January, 2009.

In an agreement with CBS Television Distribution, Oxygen will retain exclusive cable rights to all episodes including the 11th cycle currently airing on the CW, the show’s 12th cycle now in production and repeat airings of any future cycles beyond.

Created and hosted by world-renowned supermodel Tyra Banks, “America’s Next Top Model” premiered in 2003 and became a phenomenal television success, especially among young women, “Generation O,” Oxygen’s target audience.

The “Top Model” genre of programming and the show’s personalities have already proven successful on Oxygen, with “The Tyra Banks Show” airing daily on the network and former “Top Model” judge Janice Dickinson’s series “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency” now in its fourth season.

“The acquisition of this franchise will be a great fit for Oxygen’s slate of original programming and introduce the show to an untapped demographically desirable cable audience,” said Scott Koondel, Executive Vice President of Off-Network, Cable and Interactive Media for CBS Television Distribution.

The show currently airs Wednesdays on the CW at 8 PM ET.
