LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) β Sarah Palin is close to a deal for her travelogue reality show.
Sources say Discovery Communications has edged out rival A&E Networks in the bidding for the project, "Sarah Palin's Alaska." An agreement could be announced in the next few days.
It's still undecided which network in the Discovery suite would air "Alaska," which is being produced by Mark Burnett Productions.
Although travelogues are on-brand for the Discovery flagship, having Palin as a centerpiece also makes the show a fit for mom-friendly TLC. Clearly nature docs are still viable for the company -- Discovery's latest effort in the genre, the miniseries "Life," just debuted to 11.8 million viewers on Sunday night.
In her numerous TV appearances, Palin has proven she can draw an audience. Yet her show won't come cheap. The former Alaska governor's asking price was $1.2 million per episode. A network paying anywhere close to that figure would make "Alaska" one of the most expensive nature series ever produced.
The high-definition program will be shot in a style similar to "Life" and "Planet Earth" and will feature the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate acting as a guide to the Alaskan outdoors. When it was commissioned by the BBC at a cost of $25 million, the 11-part "Planet Earth" was considered the most expensive documentary the network had ever made. Discovery Communications had no comment.

It will be like watching Jessica Simpson's show, but with a brunette.
Yay.
I'm having nightmare flashbacks. Chicken or fish, anyone?
I wasn't even aware that Alaska still claimed Sarah Palin.
How ridiculous. I cannot believe a company that owns Animal Planet would have a woman like Sarah Palin who condones shooting wolves from Helicopters. Just goes to show you that these programs are not about integrity but rather what will sell. I love Life and Planet Earth but I will not watch that BS. Sarah Palin is no friend to Alaskan wild Life.
lol Oprah Winefry isn't a biologist but she's narrating Life on discovery. Mike Rowe isn't a professional fisherman but he narrates deadliest catch and numerous other shows. what's the problem with another celebrity hosting this show? shoot, she's got more association with AK than Oprah does with equatorial penguins.
Because of her complete lack of concern for Alaskan Wildlife.

your perception of wildlife management and hers may be different, that doesn't mean she doesn't care about alaskan wildlife. most hunters by definition are conservationists. you may not understand that, but it is the case. she's a talking head, she's not writing the show lol. doesn't seem panties-in-a-wad worthy to me *shrugs*

I agree.............
Panties in a wad or not, although I don't feel any wadding, I think she is a very poor choice for this program. And it is not her hunting that I care about. I like meat, especially wild caught meat. I think wild caught meat shows more compassion for our environment than farmed meat.

If you think she's doing this show because she cares about alaskan wildlife, I've got a great deal on a bridge for you. LOL
She's doing this to get her mug on tv and to rake in a couple bucks. Next year I wouldn't doubt if she shows up on Celebrity Apprentice.
no no! Dancing with the stars! Dancing with the STARS!!
