It originally aired on UPN, whose merge with The WB created The CW in 2006. The program has aired 22 seasons ("cycles"), and each cycle sees a number of aspiring models compete for the title of "America's Next Top Model", providing them with an opportunity to begin their career in the modeling industry. It is hosted by supermodel and television personality Tyra Banks, who additionally serves as its executive producer and presenter. ''America's Next Top Model'' employs a panel of three (cycles 13-18, 21-22) or four (cycles 1-12, 19–20) judges, who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The original panel consisted of Banks, Janice Dickinson, Beau Quillian, and Kimora Lee Simmons. The panel currently consists of Banks, Kelly Cutrone, and J. Alexander. The series was among the highest-rated programs on UPN, and was the highest-rated show on The CW from 2007 to 2010. Advertisers paid $61,315 per 30-second slot during the 2011–12 television seasons, the highest of any series on The CW. The show's cancellation was confirmed on October 14, 2015 and the series will conclude on December 4, 2015. It will be the last show originally from UPN to end its run. ==Background== It was announced on January 24, 2006, that ''Top Model'' would be part of the new The CW network, a merge between UPN and The WB, when the seventh cycle started in September airing on Wednesdays. The series became the first series among regular programming to air on the network. Prior to the announcement of merging with The WB, UPN had committed to renewing the series through its ninth cycle on January 20, 2006, for which casting was conducted throughout mid-2006. ''America's Next Top Model'' is the only show left on the network that was originally from UPN. On July 21, 2006, the writers of ''America's Next Top Model'' went on strike while working on Cycle 7, set to premiere on the new CW Network in September 2006. The writers sought representation through the Writers Guild of America, West, which would allow them regulated wages, access to portable health insurance, and pension benefits. These benefits would be similar to those given to writers on scripted shows. The strike was the focus of a large rally of Hollywood writers coinciding with the premiere of the new network on September 20, 2006. The dispute was chronicled in a July 24 interview on the website Television Without Pity with Daniel J. Blau, a former TWoP recapper who covered the series, and at the time was an ''America's Next Top Model'' show producer. In November 2006, the writers on strike were taken off payroll.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Model Takes Strikers Off Payroll )〕 To celebrate its tenth cycle, ''America's Next Top Model'' aired a special installment called ''America's Next Top Model: Exposed'' in two parts on the CW on Wednesday, February 6 & 13, 2008. It reviewed the best cat fights, mishaps and most memorable photoshoots, personalities, defining moments and contained other segments about the show since Cycles 1 to 9, and featured a special opening fusing all three openings together. Camille McDonald (Cycles 2 and 17), Toccara Jones (Cycle 3), Eva Pigford (Cycle 3 winner), Bre Scullark (Cycles 5 and 17), Cassandra Whitehead (Cycle 5), Joanie Dodds (Cycle 6), Jael Strauss (Cycle 8), Dionne Walters (Cycle 8), Heather Kuzmich (Cycle 9), and Bianca Golden (Cycles 9 and 17) all returned to comment on events that happened in their or other cycles. After announcing that the seventeenth season would be an All-Stars version, Banks said on The CW upfronts in May 2011, that there wouldn't be a "normal" season of the show anymore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tyra Banks promises no more 'normal' seasons of 'Top Model' – From Inside the Box – Zap2it )〕 With the start of the eighteenth ''British Invasion'' cycle, the program converted to high definition, becoming the second-to-last primetime show on the five major English-language broadcast networks in the United States to make the switch, and the last to air in the regular season to do so. The show is syndicated to NBCUniversal's cable division, with Oxygen as well as Style Network carrying the series, usually in marathon form throughout the daytime period on either network, and running through most of or an entire cycle. Bravo, MTV, and VH1 have also aired the series in the past. E! also currently airs reruns of ''ANTM''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「America's Next Top Model」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
