The Shape Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm looking ideally for something to be taped on Thursdays alongside STV but airing on a weekend. Don't care about the advertising/production money, just wondering what network will accept a B show with a reasonable timeslot and exposure =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 To get a B show, you have to already have an A show on that network. So that will limit your options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFC_chris Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 B-shows don't affect popularity at all, so I don't think how higher ratings you can get really matter at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shape Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 And maintain pride :o Basically moving my tag and shooting star divisions there for the time being, atm my main shows are held together by great main events, with Brandon/Bruce one hell of a feud. Once the stable war is up and running it'll just be ground for those not involved in that xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 [QUOTE=shamelessposer;503807]You still have to at least meet the network's expectations.[/QUOTE] True. But setting it up as a B-show means they're expectations will be lower from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antithesis Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 In my experience, the network didn't require any rating at all. For nine months I had a B show on a canadian network that pulled a .00 rating every week. Think I finally got it to a .01 the final three shows. A couple of months before that, however, I got tired of the extra booking and tried to cancel the show, and the network threatened to sue. As far as I can tell, the ratings requirement for B shows doesn't exist, at least not enough to worry about it before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the same situation where my B show was drawing .00 for weeks on end and nothing seemed to happend. Other then I had to really crappy shows.
