According to the Daily News, “Project Runway’s” next season will be aired on Lifetime. The owner of the show, Weinstein & Co., sold the show to Lifetime, the channel that is infamous for its terribly cheesy made-for-TV movies, without the approval of NBC Universal, which owns the show’s current network, Bravo.
I don’t know what these Weinstein brothers are thinking, but the only people I know who watch Lifetime are over the age of 50. According to the shows host, Heidi Klum, “Fashion is about change, so we’re looking forward to saying hello to Lifetime, our new fashionable home for our fashionable series.” I wonder how much Lifetime paid her to say that? Bravo is the ideal network for “Project Runway”, not Lifetime! This just baffles me, and I really hope that the shows quality isn’t affected by its new home. Hopefully it won’t be auf Wiedersehen for ratings. NBC Universal needs to fight to get the show back on Bravo or this could be a big disaster.
