The Bachelor on VH1
Posted by Shane on Friday, May 16, 2008 at 5:44 pm
VH1 is acquiring the full library of The Bachelor in a licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. The agreement includes 12 cycles of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” franchises as well all cycles through at least 2008.
VH1 will air the first seven seasons during the first week of June. Airing one season per day in a marathon format, VH1 will premiere the first edition of “The Bachelor” on Sunday, June 1 and conclude the week-long programming event with the seventh on Saturday, June 7.
“‘The Bachelor’ is the granddaddy of the dating reality format. It’s been a water cooler staple from the moment it premiered in 2002, and it’s still on top of its game”, said Ben Zurier, Executive Vice President, Programming Strategy, VH1, VH1 Classic, and MHD. “As we’ve seen with our own record-breaking ‘Rock of Love with Bret Michaels’ and ‘Flavor of Love’ series, dating reality has become the drama for the current generation of young adults, with an engaging mix of intrigue, romance, and surprises. ‘The Bachelor’ and VH1 certainly feels like a good match.”
