TV Show looking to film your event!

Get famous, fast. Alltrue Networks is producing a new tv show for TNN. We are looking for a (NYC-area) fraternity or sorority event to include in our premier show. The event must take place before May 20.

Not unless you're sure that they will treat fairly. Even then, check with your Nationals.

There's not a whole lot of upside to this, and a whole lot of potential problems.

As "legendary" Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes used to say, "When you pass, three things can happen, and two of them are bad."

The odds of something good happening out of this are probably worse.

Be very careful when dealing with TNN. It use to be The Nashville Network and was owned by a high school buddy of mine, Ed Gaylord, and his dad who own Gaylord Entertainment. They also own the Opryland Music Hall, the Opryland Hotel, and Country Music Television. When it was sold to Westinghouse it was moved to New York City and became The National Network. They have a political agenda to promote and will slant and/or bias program content to achieve it. A guy I know, Jim Scoutten, was the producer and star of a couple of programs on TNN. When it went to NYC, his program on shooting sports was pre-empted and kept being shown at different times each week with no advance notice. The ratings dropped (DUH!), so they cancelled the show. It did well when it was on at 10:00 every Saturday AM, but they lost the demographic on purpose because the powers that be did not 'approve' of the content. After doing this I would not trust the integrity or content of any program shown on TNN and as a result I have the channel deleted from my 'surfing' list on the cable box. If you deal with TNN do so at your own risk. Jim's program was happily picked up by the Outdoor Channel.

You never know what someone's agenda is, but it seems that if there is an opportunity to portray a GLO in a negative way, most will take it. How many times have you actually seen a fraternity or sorority portrayed in a good way?
