America's Next Top Model
(often shortened to Top Model or
abbreviated as ANTM) is a reality
television show in which a number of women
compete for the title of America's Next
Top Model and a chance to start their
career in the modeling industry.
The show was
created and is hosted by television
personality, former supermodel and current
talk-show host, Tyra Banks, who also serves
as the head judge and executive producer of
the show. The first "cycle" premiered in May
2003 and was one of UPN's highest rated
shows. The show's seventh cycle was the
first of the shows among regular programming
on UPN's successor network, The CW, and thus
far is the network's highest rated series.
The show will continue until at least the
2009-10 season. The opening theme is
performed by Tyra Banks and is produced by
Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. Banks
co-produces the show with Ken Mok and
Anthony Dominici. For the 2006-2007
television season, ANTM was the #1 show in
average viewers on The CW.
