Is Bethenny Frankel getting a talk show? It sounds like it! Broadcasting and Cable write that this summer selected Fox stations will run 'Bethenny' in a six-week test.

This summer selected Fox stations, including WNYW New York and KTTV Los Angeles, will run 'Bethenny' in a six-week test, according to Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, and Frank Cicha, senior VP of programming for the Fox Television Stations.

"A year ago, we determined there was a need in the marketplace for a show that provided daytime women the opportunity to hang out with someone who understood their needs, desires and aspirations... a girlfriend," said Werner in a statement. "The research is clear that Bethenny is that person. Fox shared our vision and we have partnered with them to demonstrate to the rest of the country how compelling such a show can be."


"I'm absolutely thrilled to be working with Telepictures, Ellen DeGeneres and Fox in doing what I believe is the next best step in my life and my career," said Frankel in a statement. "My passion is connecting to, inspiring and being inspired by my fans. I'm ready for the challenge of this new adventure, and I'm going to tackle it like I do everything else in my life. The queen of too much information is coming to daytime."

DeGeneres, who stars in her own talk show produced by Telepictures, and Frankel will both serve as executive producers.
