In this breaking exclusive story, eTalk reports that the CBC will bump Peter Mansbridge and The National when it simulcasts the new American reality series The One: Making A Music Star, this summer.

The new U.S. reality series, produced by Endomol USA, is scheduled to make its 2-hour debut on ABC on Tuesday, July 18. According to several published reports, the 16-part series will air Tuesday nights from 9:30-11 p.m. ET through to September 6.
