"Anchorwoman" is a partially scripted 2007 American comedy/reality hybrid Fox television series about Lauren Jones (a former model, "Barker Beauty" on "The Price is Right", Miss New York Pageant Winner, and featured WWE Diva) who aspires to become an anchorwoman at KYTX in Tyler, Texas.

Produced by Fox 21, Inc. and the G Group, the show was created by Brian Gadinsky and executive produced by Gadinsky and Josh Bingham. Supervising producers and writers included Chad Damiani and JP Lavin. "Anchorwoman" was directed by Mark Jacobs, who also was credited as Director of Photography.

The show debuted at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 22, 2007, with two back-to-back, half-hour episodes. It drew only 2.72 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the 18–49 age group, and the following morning the network announced the series was canceledcite web

Criticism and debate

On June 13, "Good Morning America" had aired a segment about the real-life debate regarding a bikini model in the newsroom. The August 23 edition of the "St. Petersburg Times" included an article in which female anchors decried the series. That same day, a discussion on "Star Jones" raised the possibility the series actually had been a spoof of reality TV and Lauren Jones' month-long stint with the station never had been serious but simply had been staged for the show.

Affiliations

While this program aired on the Fox network, the Max Media-owned station where the show originated, KYTX, was a CBS affiliate. For this series, all references to CBS, including the "eye", were removed during the taping of the program. The CBS eye and associated material were reinstated after the series was wrapped.

The local Fox affiliate KFXK, owned by ComCorp, did broadcast the show on its debut night. However, the station sold no local spots during local breaks, filled instead with promos from its other ComCorp station in the market, KETK-TV. (At the time the series aired, KFXK did not have its own newscast.)
