AXS TV PRESENTS THE HIT GAME SHOW “CASH CAB,” JOINING THE NETWORK’S PRIMETIME LINEUP STARTING AUGUST 1
The Network Has Acquired Over 100 Episodes of the Canadian Version Hosted by Comedian Adam Growe
AXS TV hits the road with the popular Canadian version of the beloved commuter trivia show Cash Cab – making its network debut in primetime starting August 1. The acquisition puts the spotlight on over 100 episodes of the series, offering complete coverage of seasons five through eight. Cash Cab will air every Tuesday and Wednesday night back-to-back at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Hosted by comedian – and licensed Toronto cab driver – Adam Growe, Cash Cab sends unsuspecting patrons on the ride of a lifetime, giving them the chance to answer a series of increasingly-difficult trivia questions for cash prizes while en route to their destination. In contrast to its global counterparts, which tend to focus on more general knowledge, Canada’s Cash Cab puts greater emphasis on questions pertaining to science, technology, nature, and adventure.
Cash Cab
“The Cash Cab franchise is beloved by viewers around the world, and the Canadian entry has already been incredibly well-received by viewers on fellow Anthem properties Game TV and Game+,” said Katie Daryl, AXS TV’s Vice President of Programming. “We are proud to partner with series producers Castlewood Productions to bring this hit version Stateside on AXS TV, and our viewers should stay tuned for more news in the near future.
Cash Cab Canada is produced by Castlewood Productions. The Cash Cab format was created by Lion TV, and is distributed by All3Media International. Cash Cab launched in 2005 in the United Kingdom and has since been adapted in more than 50 countries, with over 9,000 episodes produced worldwide in territories including Australia, Thailand, The Netherlands and the US, where it won six Daytime Emmy(R) Awards and aired for over 400 episodes.
