Think reality TV is terrible? Fix it!

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
