Programming Plan B from space

By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/29/2000 7:00:00 PM

If Russia's aging space station, Mir, is no longer in orbit next summer, sources say NBC and Survivor producer Mark Burnett have a back-up for NBC's planned $40 million summer reality series Destination Mir, in which the winner is to make a trip to the space station. Last week, Russian authorities said they plan to bring Mir down in February. Sources say plan B for the "E-Ticket ride of all-time" could have the winner orbiting the earth a dozen or more times in a Russian spacecraft. NBC and Burnett had no comment.
