YOUR HIDDEN TREASURES COULD MAKE YOU A FORTUNE IN CBC’S NEW REALITY SERIES, FOUR ROOMS, NOW CASTING!

• Four rooms. Four buyers. Four chances to make the deal of a lifetime
• A cross-Canada search for sellers is now underway

Do you have a piece of art or memorabilia that could be worth big money? If so, you could make the deal of a lifetime on CBC’s new reality show FOUR ROOMS.

CBC producers are on the hunt for Canadians looking to sell their family heirlooms and one-of-a-kind collections to four of Canada’s top art, antique and memorabilia buyers. These shrewd negotiators will stop at nothing in their quest to purchase valuable, unusual or maybe even macabre items. They wheel and deal in four distinctive rooms, and are ready to spend serious money should the right items come through their doors.

From the producers of CBC’s hit show Dragons’ Den, FOUR ROOMS – a FremantleMedia Format – comes to CBC Television in January 2014. The rules are simple. Sellers with prized possessions choose to meet with one of four buyers. Upon entering the first buyer’s room, if an offer is made, sellers are faced with a critical decision – take the deal or try their luck in the next room. But there’s a catch: if sellers reject an offer, it disappears for good. There’s no turning back.

The FOUR ROOMS cross-Canada search for sellers is now underway. Apply online today at cbc.ca/fourrooms and audition in a city near you. Go to cbc.ca/fourrooms for more information.

OLN Announces Cast and Start of Production on Original Series, Storage Wars Canada

• One auctioneer and six bidders cast for first ever Canadian version of the hit Storage Wars franchise
• Start of production on 36, half-hour episodes now underway

After auditioning hundreds of bidders looking to score big, OLN today announced cast and production details for the highly anticipated original reality series Storage Wars Canada. With principal filming on the 36-episode, half-hour series now underway in Ontario, the cast features a seasoned auctioneer and six determined professional bidders, each with the same amount of motivation, but all with their own unique strategy. Commissioned by OLN’s original programming team, produced by Proper Television, and licensed by FremantleMedia, Storage Wars Canada is slated to premiere on OLN this summer. Full broadcast details to be announced at a later date.

Storage Wars Canada is a modern-day treasure hunt, as professional bidders use their combined knowledge, expertise, and wit to bid on the contents of abandoned, repossessed, and forgotten storage containers. Second-generation auctioneer Don Reinhart is joined by six fierce bidders, including: Roy Dirnbeck – “The Instigator”; Cindy Hayden and Rick Coffill – “The Veterans”; Ursula Stolf – “The Knock Out”; and father-and-son duo Paul and Bogart Kenny – “High Roller and The Kid.”
