"One of my first goals here at The CW was to increase the number of hours of original programming, both throughout the season and during the summer," said CW President Mark Pedowitz. "With these four new reality series, we're launching our biggest summer schedule yet which will boost our circulation during the summer months and provide us with a promotional platform for our fall launch."
