Here's UPN's upfront press release reproduced by TV Barn. In terms of game/reality shows, it's pretty short and sweet:
The third search for "America's Next Top Model" airs first Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET, with a repeat Fridays at 8 p.m. ET, followed by "Star Trek: Enterprise" (which answers your other question).
And in between series 3 and 4 of "ANTM," "The Missy Elliott Project," or "Hip-Hop Idol," will air in the Wednesday and Friday time slots--the relevant quote from the press release:
THE MISSY ELLIOTT PROJECT (Working Title) (Midseason) is a new dramality series that will send thirteen aspiring performers coast-to-coast on tour with Grammy Award-winning artist Missy Elliott, where they will live together on the road in a tour bus and compete against each other for the opportunity to become the next big hip-hop star. Just like Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott, herself, the next big superstar could spring from a variety of backgrounds, but what they will have in common is amazing talent, distinctive style and fresh attitude. The series will feature everyday young singers and rappers as they transform into multi-talented hip-hop entertainers, in the process facing weekly tests that determine who can make the cut. Under 24-hour-a-day surveillance by cameras, the selected group will be challenged in a variety of ways while on the road, and with Missy’s guidance, be exposed to top music industry insiders. With the help of a panel of industry experts, Missy will eliminate one performer each episode until only one is left standing. Then, Missy plans to help launch the winner’s career, signing them to a deal with her record label. THE MISSY ELLIOTT PROJECT (working title) is a production of Shapiro/Grodner Productions in association with Monami, Inc. Arnold Shapiro (“Big Brother”), Allison Grodner (“Big Brother”), Mona Scott, Jay Blumenfield and Anthony Marsh are executive producers. Missy Elliott is a co-executive producer.
"Dramality?" "Dramality?" Is Beverly writing UPN press releases?
And that's it for the broadcast nets--I am personally fascinated by the premise of "Studio 7" and if Davies can pull it off, it should be a most interesting show. Otherwise, I'm probably going to be sticking with the old standbys.
