Survivor will air Mondays - Thursdays at 7 and 10 p.m. ET/PT. OLN®, the exclusive home of Survivor in syndication, will air a sneak peak of episode one of Season I of Mark Burnett’s and CBS’ signature blockbuster reality series commercial-free on Sunday, July 24. The sneak peak will air at 12 p.m. ET, immediately following Lance Armstrong’s final ride in the 2005 Tour de France. The show’s official premiere, at 7 p.m. ET, will also air commercial free, as will the encore at 11 p.m. ET that evening.

"The final day of the Tour is like our Superbowl," said Gavin Harvey, President of OLN. "We're debuting a commercial-free sneak-preview of Survivor Superbowl-style, after Lance’s final ride on Sunday. This is a huge event for us and we wanted to give it a very special premiere."

The series will settle into its regular time period Monday through Thursday at 7 and 10 p.m. ET/PT, with encore presentations Saturdays and Sundays at 6 and 7 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. ET/PT. OLN has acquired exclusive syndication rights to air Seasons I through X of Survivor, and this will be the first time most of these episodes have been seen on television since their original airing.

Viewers will be able to relive all of the scheming and the physical challenges, the tension-filled Tribal Councils, and the most exciting moments from Survivor history. Who could forget the ornery Susan Hawk’s tirade and the bare-all Richard Hatch in Season I? The first season of Survivor takes 16 contestants from all walks of life and gives them the adventure of a lifetime as they attempt to outwit, outplay and outlast the other castaways on the island of Pulau Tiga, to ultimately win the one million dollar prize. Each castaway must deal with a lack of food shelter and water as they compete in both physical and mental challenges before having to vote off a fellow tribe member.
