Edit: CNBC canceled it, but BBC America's gonna air it instead. Quoted from Wallyhorse's post on Page 3:
If I can remember, I may start watching since I never got around to downloading it. Not like we'll be seeing a non-celeb US Apprentice any time soon, it seems.Although NBC has abandoned the version of The Apprentice that stars real people in exchange for the celebrity edition, CNBC will soon start broadcasting the U.K.'s non-celebrity version of the show, which some in the U.S. are already fans after watching it online.
CNBC announced that it will broadcast it twice every Monday night, at both 9 p.m. ET and 1 a.m. ET, starting August 25 and concluding November 10. It will also repeat Saturdays at 8 and 11.
The Apprentice UK, which airs on BBC One, has broadcast four seasons and three related spin-off shows, and follows the format of Donald Trump's version. In his place is Sir Alan Sugar, who's apparently closer to Gordon Ramsay in his approach to anal sex than to Donald Trump, although he's more witty than abusive.

Well:
BBC America will be airing the UK version starting Tuesday, May 5. The opening episode will air at 8:00 PM ET/PT while all subsequent episodes will air at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Tuesdays, with the finale scheduled to air July 21.
Do be aware this is the 2005 season from which the first four episodes originally aired here in the US late last summer on CNBC prior to the meltdown of the stock market that caused CNBC to scrap airing the show. CNBC wound up making numerous changes to their schedule as a direct result of the financial fallout that has gone on since that caused them to never bring the show back.
I wish I could watch the seasons again.
