While there has been a lack of information being posted on the board as of late, its not for a lack of work going into the network.
Currently we are getting ready for the May 20th upfront, the HUGE day.
Biggest thing we have going on now, is casting. The schedule is pretty much set with a couple variations in case the networks alter their general set-up of comedy and dramas night to night.
The Monday to Thursday might switch, but Fri-Sun is set in stone.
With casting we have at least one good person for about 80% of the roles. We have a few decisions to make where there is more then one good candidate, we have some holes to fill as well.
We also require the finalizing of casting for our news program as well as the Guitar Hero reality show.
Also on the agenda is the network banner etc, to put the "Liberty" into the site through visual representation.
Once the upfront is posted on May 20th the next 6 weeks will consist of the following being posted for each program;
-introduction to the cast media release
-ad rate guidance and tracker, complete with projected ratings
-production schedule
July & August will then become the time to finish writing and begin production on the shows, getting episodes "in the can" for September.
A master schedule will also have to be produced.
September of course is premieres, any line-up juggling etc.
October will bring some decisions in regards to summer 2011 sceduling and the pitches for new shows for Fall 2011 will also begin.
