MUMBAI: CNBC is expanding its portfolio with the announcement of seven unscripted projects in development including Fakes and Forgeries from Endemol USA, Franchised from Eyeworks USA and At Your Service from Zodiak USA.

CNBC?s slate includes projects that run the gamut from an antiques detective who works the high-end world of art forgeries using crime lab technology to a life-changing competition that each week gives one person a chance to win his or her own franchise to a concierge service that makes the impossible possible for their extravagant clients.

It also includes Outstanding! produced by RelativityReal; Venture Men produced by Sharp Entertainment; American Steel produced by Ellman Entertainment; Flipping Wars: Vegas produced by MorningStar Entertainment.

?Exploring new formats in primetime allows us to find new ways to attract a broader viewership at night while still appealing to CNBC?s highly affluent, educated and influential audience. These projects are an extension of CNBC?s distinct brand complete with bold characters, big stakes and of course one undeniable common denominator money,? said SVP primetime alternative programming Jim Ackerman.

The seven unscripted projects are following six months after the NBCUniversal network appointed ex-Vh1?s Ackerman.
