GSN Announces 'ANYTHING TO WIN,' a Weekly Documentary Series Featuring the Dramatic Stories of Competitors Who May or May Not Have Crossed the Lines in Their Attempts to Win
Erik Nelson and Dave Harding Serve as Executive Producers
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Jan. 14 -- Throughout the history of
human competition, people have gone to great lengths to win. This fall, GSN
will tell the stories of individuals' often-unbelievable attempts to win in a
new weekly documentary series, ANYTHING TO WIN. The announcement was made
today at the network's Television Critics Association presentation by Ian
Valentine, Senior Vice President of Programming, GSN.
"This unique documentary series is the perfect vehicle for GSN," said Ian
Valentine, Senior Vice President, Programming in making the announcement.
"Telling these interesting stories will allow us to pay homage to the
fascinating world of competition, which dates back to before the beginning of
recorded history."
The profiles of the competitors will run the gamut: from individuals who
may have pushed their physical training to the limit to those who perhaps lied
and even cheated to outplay their competitors. ANYTHING TO WIN will spotlight
those who have pushed the limits -- some to success, and others to failure.

LUCK SCANDAL, GSN's top rated original show, will serve as executive producers
