In a move that will be the network's only significant change to its extremely successful Fall 2003 programming lineup, Star Search will air in the Saturday 8PM ET/PT time slot, with the time slot's current occupant, 48 Hours, moving into the Wednesday 10PM ET/PT time slot left vacate by the cancellation of David E. Kelly's disappointing The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire dramatic series.

Multi-talented actor/comedian Arsenio Hall is expected to return as series host. Star Search is produced by 2929 Productions. Andrew Golder is executive producer.
