LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted June 29, 2005 it takes so long for networks in other countries to pick up our shows we have over here in Canada/USA? I know that it goes the same the other way, that shows made in the UK take a while to get to here... but how come? how come they dont just broadcast it over a satellite to everyone in the world?? <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Networks often wait to see how successful a programme is in it's home country before investing in it. Why buy a show that doesn't make any money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted June 29, 2005 Whow, you mean the networks actually buy the show??? Did not know that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted June 29, 2005 Of course they buy the show. How did you think it worked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted June 29, 2005 Yeah, they have to pay for the shows. That's how the producers make their money, the networks make their money through advertising (commercials). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
