"ONE TREE HILL" WEDDING EPISODES SET THE STAGE FOR PREMIERE OF NEW REALITY SERIES "HITCHED OR DITCHED" ON MAY 26

On May 25, Encore Episodes of "One Tree Hill" Feature Two Weddings -- one "Hitched" and one "Ditched"

Burbank, CA (May 12, 2009) - The CW will show some love for its new reality/relationship series "Hitched or Ditched" by airing encore presentations of two wedding-themed episodes of the hit drama "One Tree Hill" on Monday, May 25 (8:00-9:00 p.m. and 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET). "Hitched or Ditched" will premiere the following night, Tuesday, May 26 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET), following the season finale of "Reaper."

On "One Tree Hill," the character of Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) has been both ditched and hitched. The series' 100th episode from season five, titled "Hundred," featured Lucas and Lindsey's (guest star Michaela McManus) wedding day. Lucas was ditched when Lindsey realized he was really in love with Peyton (Hilarie Burton). In this week's episode, "Forever and Almost Always," Lucas and Peyton finally tied the knot.

"Hitched or Ditched" is a one-hour reality show focusing on couples who are in long-term relationships but have not yet taken that big leap into marriage. Nominated by a friend who believes it's either time for the couple to tie to the knot or break up, each episode features a different couple who accept their friend's proposition to set a wedding date in one week's time. When the wedding day arrives, the couple will make the final decision � will they tie the knot or call the whole thing off? Viewers will witness every emotional milestone as the couple decides if it's time to get "Hitched or Ditched."

"Hitched or Ditched" is produced by RDF USA in association with Next Entertainment. The executive producers are Mike Fleiss ("The Bachelor," "High School Reunion"), Chris Coelen ("Secret Millionaire," "Don't Forget the Lyrics"), Greg Goldman ("Secret Millionaire," "Wife Swap"), Mike Duffy ("Addicted to Beauty") and Jason Ehrlich ("The Bachelor").
