TARAsia Fan:
I know that Touchtone Television (Disney) has a stake in Amazing Race (if you look at the closing credits from the earlier TAR's on GSN, you'll see their logo) so it wouldn't surprise me if ABC picked it up in the future.

thats why cbs is holding a stake in it. abc also has a stake in scrubs and nbc kept it and would pick it up the minute nbc drops it. sort of like what happened to jag going from nbc to cbs
Slowhatch:
Touchstone is the distributor. They recently changed their name to ABC studios. They distribute ABC, NBC, CBS, the WB...anybody. They don't have the direct connection to production that CBS does, but they still get to put the Emmys on their resume. :lol:

This was interesting--one of the Emmy Award winning producers is the security guy:
--- Quote --- the award recognized Mr. Parr’s work on safety, security and production logistics for the show, which has a global audience of more than 100 million.

--- Quote ---As a producer on shows including The Amazing Race, Mr. Parr MBE brings experience from a 25-year career with the British SAS, which saw him deployed in over 50 countries.
Extensive travel with the Special Forces gave him an eye for identifying potential security risks and crisis management, he said.
Mr. Parr returned to New Zealand last month after spending eight weeks traveling around the world on the twelfth series of the show
