Every year NBC, ABC, FOX and CBS TV networks receive about 500 pitches, about 70 scripts, about 20 pilots and about 4-8 new series’ all resulting in 1 or 2 TV shows according to The Wall Street Journal. These big 4 TV networks are feeling added pressure trying to keep up with companies like Netflix, Hulu and DVR devices with their number of audiences increasing. The ease of use and control from services warranted by Netflix for example, draw many consumers away from prime-time television. Top TV network executives are constantly monitoring the success of shows and their ratings, determining whether keeping these shows afloat is profitable. Unfortunately for many writers and their scripts, many shows are cancelled and lost never to return from a 3-hour tour.
