Synopsis
The series follows Lauren Jones, a former model, Barker Beauty on The Price Is Right, Miss New York Pageant winner, and featured WWE Diva, as she aspires to become an anchorwoman at KYTX in Tyler, Texas. The show debuted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007, with two back-to-back half-hour episodes. It drew 2.72 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the 18–49 demographic, leading Fox to cancel it the following morning. Unaired episodes were made available on Fox on Demand but were removed by September 27, 2007.
Affiliations
Although the program aired on Fox, the originating station KYTX was a CBS affiliate owned by Max Media. During taping, all references to CBS, including the eye logo, were removed; they were reinstated after the series wrapped. The local Fox affiliate KFXK, owned by ComCorp, sold no local spots during the debut night's local breaks, instead filling the time with promos from its other station in the market, KETK-TV.
