PAX TV To Air Weakest Link

  • April 26, 2001
Since the premiere on NBC, the game show "Weakest Link" has garnered enthusiastic attention from critics and viewers alike. Through four telecasts on NBC, "Weakest Link" has averaged a 6.7 rating and 18 share in adults 18-49 and has been the number-one show on television in this key demographic during each of its first three nights on the air.

To capitalize on the show popularity, PAX TV will be re-broadcast the hit primetime quiz show every Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT beginning Friday, June 1. "Viewers have obviously taken to this unique, fast-paced and witty program," commented Sagansky. "We're thrilled to bring our audience an opportunity to catch the action again."

"Weakest Link," hosted by Anne Robinson, is a highly competitive game in which a group of eight contestants are quizzed on general knowledge. However, the competition takes on a sharp turn at the end of each round when one of the contestants is deemed "the weakest link" and voted off the show.
