Many will have a real clear idea of what networks they would like their shows ultimately to land on. But not all of them have analyzed if their type of show is the kind of show these networks like. They just know they like that network or know that it is number 1.  

Every one of my content client’s goals is to get their show on a US network, first and foremost.  This is when I ask the question, “Are you willing to sell your rights away?”  Many stop short and say “Hell NO!”  

Your series has been sold to the network and you get to guide it creatively and nurture it.   It’s like having a baby and putting it up for an open adoption.  You will take care of it everyday, but will not own it.  You can love it, take care of it, but at the end of the day the adopted parents will make all of the life’s decisions.
