TV shows offer MORE opportunity now than ever before! Our format easily solves the four factors of control, distribution, funding, and creativity. We provide the right partners a unique opportunity to create, film, and distribute their show, within a family of similar shows called, "Dad Downstairs". Imagine a TV show with REAL LIFE situations, that millions of parents and families face, where EACH city has their cast and crew and YOU are the Executive Producer in that city! Family drama, a spice of humor, and different casts in each market worldwide! That is the formula for "Dad Downstairs". The new drama com features a divorced couple, raising their children, each living in a duplex in the same house! Most TV shows portray divorced couples in sitcoms, often at the expense of the ex-wife ("Judith" in Two and a Half Men). Few portray the challenges divorced couples face; raising their children, and trying to heal from hardship and trauma. Most use one parent or the other as a scapegoat, making them look bad, to create humor, shaping the false reality of how these couples NEED to communicate better for their healing and their children. Let's change the narrative to healing pain, NOT just entertainment! Cast yourself in the lead role, choose your cast and crew, then write your scripts! Invite the mayor or governor for a cameo role. Get the city tourism and local merchants involved. Film in local hotels, restaurants, and city locations, promote where you live and work, and be a hero in your town! Hire local actors and crew. CREATE JOBS in your city or state, and be a show co-creator of a hit TV series! We are looking for EPs in EVERY city and country with D2C streaming. We created ``Dad Downstairs`` for worldwide distribution. Think of "Real Housewives" and how that concept flourished and is in 21 markets now. This show concept has a broader appeal to a wider demographic worldwide! We offer a 90% revenue stream in your market AND help with marketing and distribution from the 10% share we retain, all with a nominal license fee. Each EP in that market can create their script, cast and crew, union or non-union, film, edit, and finish as many episodes as they desire. We offer a marketing platform where they can receive income, ``direct to consumer`` (D2C) the first week the show is done and downloaded! Each EP has its dashboard to monitor their income stream and can even allocate a percentage of the income in that market to investors, sponsors, partners, or supporters. They too get their dashboard to keep track of their earnings! The best part is you can withdraw your money any time you wish, every DAY if you want! That is your choice. Every market of ``Dad Downstairs`` family drama, has a different cast and crew. Remember, YOUR script will differ from ours too.

In earth-shattering entertainment news, the studio Sony Pictures bought the Austin-based cinema chain Alamo Drafthouse. Studios could not own movie theaters due to anti-trust competition until the 1948 Paramount Decree sunset in 2020. The rule was established after a few studios bought theaters on the verge of bankruptcy because of the Spanish Flu. What's old is new again in the post-pandemic era. The one major studio without a streaming service buying a theater chain is an interesting development. (Their movies usually go to Netflix, 4-5 months after theatrical.) The theatrical exhibition industry needs this, and I am hopeful for Alamo's future and the chain's creative business model, which leans into experiences.

5 years at ABC-7 KVIA El Paso. This video answers the question: "what does a career-long creative/technologist even do at a medium market local news station?" - Sharpen your skills - Perfect your workflow - Win awards - Have fun! Perfection is the enemy of the good when a project you were asked to do at 1pm needs to be on the air by 6pm. There are no hovering art directors and account executives to worry about, so check your own work before it goes to air! But be prepared for a huge salary decrease, which is why I still moonlight if you'd like to hire me!! Note: "Eric would like you to know that he's not anywhere near as cocky as the song the video makes it seem." - The AI that wrote the soundtrack #newsgraphics #broadcastdesign #datavisualization #cinema4d #infographics #newsdesign

Another secret have come to realize over my few years in broadcasting is… Proper care and maintenance of your broadcast equipment are essential to ensuring smooth and successful productions. When you take the time to care of your gear, it’s like building a relationship with it—your equipment becomes reliable and less likely to fail you when you need it the most. On the other hand, neglecting your equipment can lead to unexpected issues, often at the worst possible moments, like during a live show when there's no room for error. Simple habits, like keeping liquids far away from your gear, regularly cleaning and storing your equipment properly, and performing routine checks, can make all the difference. Remember, your equipment is the backbone of your production. Treat it with care, and it will serve you well.

This just reemphasizes the importance (and appetite) for local news. Radio (along with its social media presence) is still the first, best way to get accurate up-to-the-minute information from news professionals you can trust.
