CTV on Board Burnett/Spielberg Reality Series

LAS VEGAS, January 16:
Canada’s CTV has become the first international broadcaster to come on board
for On The Lot, FOX’s new
unscripted series from Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg.

Burnett and Spielberg are
actively searching for Canadian competitors for the series, with a Canadian
casting call in Toronto this March. The show launches on FOX and CTV this
spring. It will see 16 filmmakers vying for a seven-figure development deal
with DreamWorks, with the winner to be selected by viewers. The competition
will air over two nights weekly, with a one-hour "Film Premiere"
episode followed the next night by a half-hour "Box Office" results
show.

"On The Lot delivers an innovative concept backed by an
exceptional pedigree and as a result, CTV is thrilled to bring this project to
Canadians," said Susanne Boyce, CTV’s president of programming and chair
of the CTV Media Group. "Burnett and Spielberg together for the first
time—who could ask for anything more?"
