Roughly paraphrased, it went something like this: It costs $x00,000 to produce a one-hour show like [some Travel Channel show]. So what if you, or you and couple of friends, are able to produce a 30-minute travel show and deliver it for distribution on all the Travel Channel platforms? What fee would you ask for that 30 minutes of video? Think about how long it would take to produce it, what it would cost you. Would you do it for $50,000? Would you do it for ... $10,000? (I surely would NOT do it for $20!!!) I’m reminded of something Michael Rosenblum said during the Travel Channel Academy I attended last summer. Roughly paraphrased, it went something like this:
