Yes, here’s your big opportunity to fix everything you hate about reality television. CBC Television is looking to find an executive in charge of “factual entertainment” — code-word for talk shows, game shows, and reality TV.
You’ll have to:
- Evaluate new series and proposals (do it contribute to the CBC’s mandate? will it draw audiences? how much will is cost? etc.)
- Develop new talk, lifestyle, reality and game show programs from the concept proposal stage to final deliveries of program budgets, scripts and “program bibles.”
- Buy independent shows
- Identify “new trends in factual entertainment” and sell these ideas to others. (I’m not sure exactly what that means.)
Now then… do you qualify? You’ve got to have:
- a University degree with at least 10 years of related experience
- Live and live-to-tape production experience
- Remote and field shoot production experience
- In-depth knowledge of and relationships within the independent production community
