<div>Michael Kemp Partnering and Pitching Alternate-TV Lesson 10
</div><div>What I’ve Learned From This Assignment is the partnerships these production companies have with all versions of broadcasting using the ten formats of reality television.
Assignment #1 Take a look at a few of these production companies and the shows they produce. For the companies you choose to look at, group the shows together that seem similar or that suggest a specialty or focus. The goal here is to get a feel for the kinds of formats each company produces and topics the companies tend to focus on. At each company site, look for “shows,” “who we are,” and “contact.”
