As a producer it doesnt need it can cost a lot, but i am guessing you are asking for reality tv. They can be as cheap as $1000. All you need is a camera and video editing software.
More Information: The answer varies. It can run from the low hundreds of thousands (minimum of about $500,000 to produce a Pilot for a drama series) to the $13 Million PER EPISODE NBC paid Warner Bros. to produce the hit show
ER (network average is $1.5 to $2 Million per episode for a television series). This fee covers everything associated with producing one episode from salaries to paper clips (there are on average 22 - 26 on "free" Broadcast Television such as NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. and 13 on cable broadcast stations such as HBO, TNT, FX, etc.).
For reference, the cost of producing television shows (on free broadcast stations) is subsidized through the sale of advertising to sponsors. Corporations pay substantial fees to air their commercials during a specific show. Higher rated shows bring with them a higher cost to advertise on their time slot. But on the flip side, this fee exposes a company's product or message to a large potential customer base. This is what advertisers pay for.
But what about HBO - it does not have any advertising during its shows. That's right - it doesn't. A cable network like HBO makes its money in large part through its share of cable and satellite subscriptions as well a product placement fees (a good deal for advertisers who would otherwise expect to pay upwards of $287,000 for a 30-second commercial to obtain the kind of exposure afforded through product placement on a cable show like "The Sopranos").
A cable network's audience base is smaller and it normally costs less to produce a show aired on HBO. But proportionally the difference in expenditure is minimal when considering the rate of advertising versus that of subscriptions and the fact that cable "seasons" are about half that of free broadcast television seasons.

The median annual salary for someone who animates cartoon characters is $48,440. This can vary depending on experience, as well as the particular job.
I have been looking for this answer too, but only got one answer. For the whole series it costs about $50. If you find something else please post it.
Roadrunner is a species of bird in the genus Geococcyx. It does fully exist, and that's what the cartoon road runner has to be based on despite its tallness and speed. Also, a coyote is much smaller than an ostrich and much bigger than a rabbit, but it's a cartoon and does not need to make sense.
