The announcements were made today by Jim Ackerman, CNBC’s senior vice president of primetime alternative programming.

"The Car Chasers’ developed a loyal fan base and we’re excited to build off that momentum and grow the show," CNBC's senior vice president of primetime alternative programming Jim Ackerman said. "'Money Talks' takes us deep inside the world of sports betting in Las Vegas. It’s a world that hasn’t been explored in primetime and we’re confident that our viewers will be fascinated by this intimate look at high stakes gambling."
