FETV Acquires The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp; Game Show Network to Debut New Show Hosted by Cameron Mathison
FETV (Family Entertainment Television), home to beloved and timeless television series and movies carried across cable, satellite, and virtual platforms, announced that The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp has joined the network's programming lineup as of yesterday Monday, April 29, 2024. The show debuted in its regular time slot every afternoon at 1p ET. To celebrate the launch of the show, FETV will conduct a special trivia event called "Life OR Legend" from now through May 5, featuring true or false statements posed both on-air and on FETV's Instagram account, where viewers can answer in real time.
The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp stars Hugh O'Brian as the eponymous character, one of the most legendary lawmen of the wild west. The series was the first Western written for adults, premiering four days before Gunsmoke in 1955 and airing for six seasons and 229 episodes on ABC.
FETV's current lineup features popular television series such as Emergency!, Leave It to Beaver, Perry Mason, and Adam-12. According to Nielsen, FETV's average audience in Primetime (7p-12a ET) ranks among the top 40 ad-supported cable networks.
Cameron Mathison hosts Beat the Bridge on Game Show Network. The new series premieres June 10 at 6PM and will air weeknights. Based on the hit BBC show Bridge Of Lies and format created by STV Studios, Beat the Bridge features an enormous interactive bridge that dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. Each step forward puts money in the team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. However, the team gets to keep the money only if it can "beat the bridge" by returning one of its players back across before time expires in an exciting end game.
