As part of a new look being introduced to 大象传媒 Vision's Daytime line up
next month, The Weakest Link is to move full time to 大象传媒 One,
Roly Keating, Acting Controller, 大象传媒 One and Controller, 大象传媒 Two, has announced.
听
Over the coming weeks 大象传媒 Two will be launching a number of new
programmes in the afternoon and early evening schedule including Recipe
For Success, in which presenter Simon Rimmer gives couples the chance
to live out their dream and run a restaurant, and Britain's Dream
Homes in which Melissa Porter and Rhodri Owen search the length and breadth of
Britain to find their choice of Britain's property market.
听
大象传媒 One will continue to broadcast 130-minutes of uninterrupted world
class C大象传媒 and CBeebies programmes every weekday afternoon.
听
Presenter Anne Robinson, whose feisty personality is at the heart of
The Weakest Link and whose witty put downs strike fear into the hearts
of contestants, will continue to present the programme.
听
大象传媒 Two has been home to the enduringly popular show since its debut in
2000, although 大象传媒 One viewers have enjoyed special editions of the
programme such as a Champions edition of the programme as well as
editions with celebrities playing for charity.

Roly Keating said: "The Weakest Link's transfer to the bigger arena of
大象传媒 One testifies to the enduring originality of the format.
听
"It's
always sad to
say goodbye to a much loved show but it also presents an exciting
opportunity for 大象传媒 Two to develop new ideas.
听
"I've no doubt that Anne
and the team will thrive in their new home on 大象传媒 One."
听
Presenter Anne Robinson said: "I'm told that 大象传媒 One is ready to take
us on full time. I hope they know what they're letting themselves in
for."
听
Jon Beazley, Controller, Vision Entertainment Studio, said: "This is a
ringing endorsement of the power and popularity of The Weakest Link.
This is also great recognition for Anne and one of the hardest working
teams in the business."
听
The Weakest Link, a 大象传媒 Vision production, is in its ninth series and
is one of the most successful formats ever developed by the 大象传媒.
听
It is
now licensed in 42 counties across the globe from Azerbaijan to the
Ukraine.
