In addition to Tribune Broadcasting, CBS Television and local TV stations that signed on early, the show has been sold to stations from Sinclair Broadcasting, LIN Television Stations, Belo Corp., Cox Enterprises, Media General, Post-Newsweek Stations, Newport Television, Raycom Media and The Grant Group.

Hall's new show will debut in fall 2013. Hall, who recently won NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," is best known for hosting the Emmy Award-winning "The Arsenio Hall Show": famed for the Dog Pound, doing that Arsenio thing with one's arm, and a saxophone performance by a certain future president. It ran from 1989 to 1994.
