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 to local stations. They often look for 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. See if there is anything you could learn from the shows.
Next is to create a screenplay. You should ensure that it is well-written and organized. It doesn't matter how long it takes to write as long as it's completed within a reasonable amount of time.
Finalize the script and send it to your station. Send it to the station with your name, information, and a description of yourself.
You'll probably also need to provide references (like other shows they've produced) and examples of previous scripts you've written.
You'll find out if your chances of getting the show airing once you get a reply. It is best to contact an individual involved in the production of the show to get a response.
