Washington, D.C. (August 27, 2006) -- HDNet, the High-Definition TV network, has signed ex-basketball player Dennis Rodman to host a reality series.

That's according to an article in this week's Cable World magazine.

Tentatively titled, Geek to Freak, the program is scheduled to debut in January. No further details were provided.

Rodman, who played for the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons, has a reputation for stirring controversy wherever he goes.

Cable World reports that the Rodman show is part of HDNet's overall strategy to persuade cable TV operators to carry the channel.

HDNet is now available on DIRECTV, EchoStar and several cable systems, including Time Warner Cable. However, Comcast, Cox and Cablevision have yet to make deals with the channel.

"Our goal is to offer premium cable programming with a limited number of commercials," HDNet's co-founder Mark Cuban told Cable World.

HDNet earlier this year signed Dan Rather to host a weekly news show, which debuts in October.
