The Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center has made it difficult to accomplish all of the technical aspects of the move, the spokesman added. WYNY should be up to full power by week's end, he said. Still, the power shortfall added to speculation that changes are coming for the city's only country music outlet. "We haven't announced any change," the spokesman said.

In what is being dubbed the "the ultimate 'Big Brother' by Endemol Entertainment chairman and chief creative officer John de Mol, five people will be monitored by camera and microphone around the clock, while they take orders from a "master" via electronic messages. At a moment's notice, the master could tell them to pack their bags and leave the house for another country, or give other orders that could change the course of the contestants' lives. The show's chief unique characteristic is that there appear to be no guarantees: The master even decides at the end of the year whether the participants will get a cash prize and how much. Contestants must be at least 22, because they will need "guts" and maturity, de Mol said. The show launches in Europe in January, although the name of the broadcaster has not yet been disclosed.

So far, the show has not been sold in the United States. "Big Brother" was the first show to invade contestants' privacy, shutting them in a house without outside contact and filming them all the time. "The Master Plan" will be much more invasive, the company promised. "Big Brother" airs in some 20 areas around the world. CBS recently concluded its second version of the show.
