I have owned a television show production company, Trobray Television Productions,LLC since 1994.

I can answer questions as to how to produce your own cable access show; how to get great guests, how to promote your show; how to write press releases for your show; how to get show volunteers; should you have a show co-host; should you use paid advertising to promote a special guest; suggest books, videos and publications useful as reference works to produce a quality show and invite selected individuals who respond to allexperts.com to be a guest on a "live" Business Beat Live tv show and receive "how to" suggestions and a critique of their on show appearance.

Question
Hello.... I have created an amazing talk show geared towards the African American public and I need to know what are the steps I have to take to get it on the air. I have already submitted it for Copyright and to WGA.   I need help on what to do next? Thank you in advance for your help!!!

Answer
Leanisha:  You need a reel and an agent to pitch your show to various tv show producers.  GREAT SUGGESTION:  On July 3rd in your local bookstore the following book goes on sale:
Starring You - The Insider's Guide to Using Television and Media to Launch Your Brand, Your Business, and Your Life by Marta Tracy & Terence Noonan.  I have an advance copy of the book - WOW I mean W O W !!!!!  Just the book for you!!
In the meantime go to their website www.starring-you.com
You will most certainly need a business plan as well.  I am also a professional business plan writer - visit my website at www.businessbeatlive.com  My 800 # is: 800-840-4320
Best of luck - I can help you get there!!
