Selling The Networks

Creating the pilot for the series is just the beginning of the process. The pilot needs to be shopped to the major networks and cable companies. They are always looking for the next great show to fill a time slot, to focus on a demographic and compete with another network station or cable company.

The network or cable company may want to make changes and modifications to the show. They may want a new title. They may want the show to pace for an entire hour rather than thirty minutes. They may want to switch out the host or design team. Adjustments will be made to improve the reach and ratings of the show.

The pilot will be pitched to the following companies:
 

ABC CBS NBC

FOX HBO TLC

HGTV Lifetime
