To gain a TV audience you need (1) sponsor interest, i.e. financial support, (2) a producer to pull together creative production resources, (3) research to convince a media channel such as a cable or online network that the production will deliver an audience large enough to attract advertisers. The advertising placement and sponsor exposure is where the finances come from to support the production. If the research doesn't realistically reveal an audience potential, it's likely not going to get financial support.


Apparently you didn't participate in the webinar. Mario understands all that. It IS a cool idea. It's OK if you don't want to participate but what's the point in discouraging others?

Don't need to participate because I work in this industry. And I'm not trying to discourage, just laying out the facts born out of years of failed and successful ventures. With those facts you can decide how to proceed. Repeat: with those facts you can decide how to proceed.
