“Many of the most popular shows on television today -- including Dancing With the Stars" -- are essentially game shows at their core,” says GSN executive vice president of programming, Amy Introcaso-Davis. “GSN is all about the potent combination of games, competition, entertainment and fun, and we know that Dancing With the Stars is a show our female audience already loves.”
Season 4, the first scheduled to run on GSN, included Apolo Anton Ohno, Billy Ray Cyrus, Joey Fatone and Heather Mills.
The deal also gives GSN exclusive airing rights for the upcoming 14th season when it finishes its run on ABC.
