Ultimately, it's all down to money and persuading the right people to take on the show for broadcast. There are many different routes to air but here is a typical example:

First, someone needs to have an idea for a show. The idea needs to be refined to the point where a sampler can be produced or at least a written concept with a story board. This very first process filters out almost all ideas as very few ideas ever make it to this stage.

Step two is to find someone who is prepared to take on the concept and produce a pilot. This can be an independent producer or a broadcaster. This process is hard enough to filter out 99% of all proposals and it takes a lot of leg work to find that elusive producer who wants to risk a considerable amount of money to make the first show.

If the idea gets this far, a single episode will exist. Now is the time to approach channel controllers and get an agreement for a broadcast of a pilot. This is perhaps even harder than finding someone to produce the program in the first place. Channels are inundated with submissions from hopeful production companies. Another 99% of the remaining ideas fall here.

So, the one in several thousand that makes it to air as a pilot will stand or fall on the feedback from viewers and advertisers. Sometimes, the pilot can make it to a full season with subsequent seasons following. The remainder will have had a single airing and never make it to the television airwaves again. Despite this apparent failure, to make it to even a single broadcast is a great achievement.

Network broadcasters also generate ideas internally so some will accept very few external contributions. Even internally, the same process has to take place.

Although the poor contributions are weeded out to leave the better quality programs as final contenders, it is as much to do with contacts in the industry as it is with quality of the content. Without knowing who to approach with an idea, the chances of making it to air are virtually nil. Even with the right contacts, the chances of a program making it to broadcast are only slightly better.

For those who are intent on developing a show, good luck and be ready for some rejections on the way.

Why can you no longer record certain sHow is or sporting events onto your DVD recorder?

Some broadcast footage contains encryption that prevents duplication of the file such as copying onto a DVD disk. This is done to prevent copyright infringement. More and more consumers have come to record TV shows, edit out commercials and upload to online video hosting websites, and broadcasters are more eager than ever to make sure that people watch their shows AND their sponsors' commercials, as they cannot continue producing shows without dollars from sponsors that air commercials during TV shows.
