How To
How do I buy TV time?
The first step is ensuring you have an idea for a show people want to watch. If you don’t have an idea, you don’t need to spend money buying airtime. You can always pitch ideas for local stations. They are often open to original content.
You can find stations that will give you airtime for free if you are lucky enough. If not, it's worth looking into their past activities. Find out if there's anything you could use from those shows.
The next step is to make a script. Make sure it's well-written and structured. It doesn’t matter how lengthy it takes to create it, as long you complete it within a reasonable time.
Finally, when you're satisfied with the script send it to the station. Let them know who and why this show is important to you.
It is likely that you will also be asked for references, such as other shows they have produced, and examples of scripts you have written in the past.
Once you get a response, you'll know if you've got a shot at getting the show aired. The best way to get a response is to contact someone directly involved with the show.
