The same as you would to anyone else, BUT ... include more target-audience demographics and appeal data. Go to the meeting with market research, especially if the market is one that is already buying a hit show the network already has. The can leverage an existing successful market segment to sell more to the same demographic, especially if that market segment buys products (I'm assuming it's a commercial network like we have in the  States).

The bottom line: Sell the entertainment backed with business data.

Hey there.

My colleagues are doing a project of their own. They are writing a t.v series with all the treatments and character bios and everything.

How would you go about pitching it to a t.v network? My producer has already scheduled their pitch and she knows a director of a tv show. But I'd like to ask for any additional advice on pitching to a producer.

Thanks a truck load.
