At least if you have a Fox O&O MyTV station:

A quote from that article:

"We are pleased to be working on 'Temptation' with FremantleMedia North America, whose format track record speaks for itself."
Priceless.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Luckily, I do have a FOX owned & operated MyTV station. I don't think there are a lot of them, though.

Prizes featured on "Temptation" will be, for the first time in U.S. television history, available to viewers for discounted purchase via phone or at the program's Web site.

Does this worry anyone else?  Is Don West available to host?

I do get NYC MyTV outlet WWOR-TV My9 on Dish Network. I wonder who will be carrying Temptations in Sacramento-Stockton or if I return to Mid-Michigan, Grand Rapids and Lansing?.

I can't wait to see it this fall.

I don't know about the via phone thing, but I'm sure it will not be a Bargain Hunters clone. It'll be the same Sale of the Century we know & love all these years albeit with a different name among other things. I even did a drawing of how the contestant podium may look. And although you might not like it and I will understand, I have thoughts of Chris Harrison of The Batchelor & Mall Masters hosting it.

Note to Fremantle...give GSN the right to air some Sale.  It might help.

Oh wait...only on Fox-owned O&O's?   How many is that, anyway?

(For those in the Indianapolis/Lafayette/Kokomo/Muncie area who get MyINDY or whatever it's called...I believe that is a Fox O&O.)

It's only ten, according to the article.

Hopefully it picks up.

Dammit. If they want to get ratings, they might want to reconsider that.

Yikes, I knew it was a small number, but not THAT small. I hope the other MyTV stations can get their hands on it; this could really be a ratings booster for them.

(On a side note...I've got one of only ten stations that get My Games Fever. Wonder if I should consider myself lucky.)

A full list of the Fox-owned stations is here; as you roll over each you'll see a Fox or My logo.  In a nutshell, there's a Fox-owned MyTV station in every market where Fox owns two TV stations, plus Baltimore.

(And although I get ten MyTV affils by satellite, not one is Fox-owned.  Grrr...)

Ok...let me ask this then.  Let's say my little podunk MyNetwork station, not Fox affiliated, wanted to air this show, could they get some sort of special right to do so?

I would rather him keeping pushing a PPV than the junk up for purchase on Temptation...

Though people pleased has they have WWOR on DishNetwork I have read they will be switching off all receivers with the NYC stations out side their official area soon, even if the local station doesnt care.

No "special right" is needed.  Temptation is syndicated -- any station that wants it and is willing to pay for it can have it, assuming that no other station in the market already has the rights.  It's just that in this case, the first stations to pick it up were the Fox-owned MyNetworkTV affiliates.

IIRC the MyTV O&Os also were first to pick up weekend reruns of Desperate Housewives; this isn't at all different.
