CBS Television Stations, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Nexstar Media Group, EW Scripps Company, Tegna, Weigel Broadcasting and Gray Television are among the US TV station groups to acquire nationally syndicated gameshow Scrambled Up.

Created by producing duo Cleve Keller and Dave Noll with Crazy Legs Productions, and distributed by Playing Field Entertainment, Scrambled Up has been picked up by channels covering more than 80% of the US for launch this fall.

Scrambled Up (160×30′) is the latest series from Keller and Noll’s production banner Keller/Noll, which is behind shows including Chopped, Flip Side and America Says.

The format, hosted by Michael Yo, is a word game in which four contestants, with the help of clues, attempt to solve jumbled up words and phrases as they unscramble, for a chance to win a US$10,000 prize.

Scrambled Up will air Monday to Friday in markets including New York, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Miami. Production begins this month.
