This isn't a reality show, but an entire channel dedicated to reality 24/7.

FOX Reality Channel launches today

Slightly more than two years after a group of reality TV show stars and TV execs announced that they were creating a reality TV network, Reality Central, later renamed Reality 24/7. Today, a reality TV show network launches, but it's not their network, which has yet to launch. Instead, it's the FOX Reality Channel, which debuts today in about 18.5 million of the 109.6 million homes that have cable, Digital Spy reports. The initial schedule includes Cops, Joe Millionaire, Last Comic Standing, Love Cruise, and Mad Mad House. Those shows will be augmented with "contestant commentary, pre and post-show interviews, auditions, out-takes and behind-the-scenes clips," the network says. Revisiting past embarrassments will be fun for us, but some aren't so happy. Joe Millionaire's Melissa Mowery, for example, regrets her part in the show. Now, she tells the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that she was invited to do commentary for the Fox Reality repeats. For her trouble, she was "offered a FREE trip to L.A.," and later that was upped to just "less than half of the bare minimum [an] actor makes for a day," which she ultimately declined.

Has anybody else seen this? I found it on my Direct TV last night. The first time I had noticed that it's been introduced as it's own network.

They were showing a Marathon of Joe Millinaire and today it's The Fifth Wheel all day.

Does anybody know if they're going to due Survivor Marathon's? Or maybe even Big Brother?

I told my wife about it and she said, "Now I'll never get you out of the house, much less watch what I want to watch." :D

We don't have it on our digital cable. I wonder if we'll get it soon.

I started this thread about this show right before the launch. It wasn't so very far down in this area of the board.

Contact your local cable provider and ask when they will be adding Fox Reality channel!

I really like their website
Besides programming schedule, it lists news and stuff too.

Right now it appears to be pretty limited in what shows they are carrying, but I'm sure it will pick up - unless another Reality channel launches.

I didn't say you were, Nick. I merely pointed out another thread that was started that might have some information that others might like to see.

Yeah, they have showed the Joe Millionaire thing a Dozen times since the network started. They better hurry up and get some better programming or this network isn't going to last very long.

So far, it's been Joe Millionaire all the time, with The Fifth Wheel and Extreme Dating thrown in to break it up every few hours. I wasn't a big fan of Joe...they did show a commercial for a show about International Dating that comes on in the wee hours of the morning.

I think this will be more like the reality network we are wanting!! The Outdoor Living Network is showing Survivor reruns starting 7/24/2005!!

THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN: OLN LANDS SURVIVOR –
THE BIGGEST REALITY SHOW OF ALL TIME
Network Secures Exclusive Syndication Rights to Seasons I Through X



STAMFORD, CT (June 1, 2005) – In the network’s biggest acquisition to date, OLN® today announced that it has acquired exclusive syndication rights to air seasons I through X of Mark Burnett’s and CBS’ signature, blockbuster, reality series Survivor. This will be the first time most of these episodes have been seen on television since their original airing. The network plans to debut the first season on July 24, after Lance Armstrong’s final ride in the 2005 Tour de France.

“OLN's mission is to captivate viewers with content that feeds their need for thrills, challenges and the drama of competition, adventure and achievement in the outdoors,” said Gavin Harvey, President of OLN. “Survivor covers all of those areas. What better show to bring to OLN, than one that is all about surviving and competing in the great outdoors?”


“Survivor is in good company on OLN, especially with the premiere following the epic conclusion of Lance Armstrong’s final Tour de France,” said Mark Burnett, Executive Producer of Survivor. “I’m excited Survivor fans are going to be able to revisit their favorite moments from past seasons. It’s a fantastic growth opportunity for OLN and a great partnership for us.”


The deal, secured through King World, includes the rights to 10 seasons and more than 160 episodes of the series, as well as options for the next two seasons. Viewers will be able to relive all of the scheming and the physical challenges, the tension-filled Tribal Councils, and the most exciting moments from Survivor history. Who could forget Susan Hawk’s tirade and the bare-all Richard Hatch in Season I? John Dalton lying about his grandmother’s death and Rupert Boneham stealing from the opposing team in Survivor: Pearl Islands? Jenna Morasca and Heidi Strobel stripping for chocolate and peanut butter in Survivor: Amazon? And, of course, Rob Mariano proposing to Amber Brkich on the live reunion show of Survivor: All-Stars?


OLN will not only present each season in its entirety, but also package the programs according to various themes like ‘Most Villainous Characters’ and ‘Biggest Twists.’ The network will also use Survivor as a platform to introduce OLN’s new generation of original series.


“This show presents a huge opportunity for our network,” said Marc Fein, Senior Vice President of Programming and Production. “Since 2000 each season of Survivor has ranked among the top five shows of that season and averaged more than 20 million viewers. Research speaks to the show’s continuing strength and the compatibility between our audience and that of Survivor. The built-in fan base will bring new viewers to OLN, exposing them to all of the other great programming we have to offer.”


“Survivor is the reality series that spawned a whole new television genre,” said Harvey. “It is a prized acquisition and a perfect fit for OLN.”
