  1. Sorry again David, I promise this will be the last.. but similar to Rove Live would Hey Hey It’s Saturday be on the Expensive or Cheaper end??
    And would ACA & 60 Minutes be a Factual, Chat Interview or Panel Experts type show??
    Many Thanks!

  2. ” The Front Bar led with 579,000 then Human Error (467,000)”
    David, off the top of your head, which show would have the bigger production costs and by what sort of margin?
    thanks

      1. On topic, also wondered David, what would be the Order from most expensive to most cheapest genre to make?? Reality, Drama Miniseries, Animation, Panel Shows, Comedy Shows, Sitcoms, Entertainment Variety, Satire Sketch, Chat Show Interviews, Soap Opera, Lifestyle, Factual, Documentary.?? Many Thanks!

          1. Haha funny David..
            Always thought Reality was more expensive than Drama!?
            Would Rove Live be a Comedy Show, Chat/Panel Show or Entertainment Variety??
            And lastly why did Channel 9 say when they axed The Footy Show, Talkin Bout Your Generation & The Voice that it was Expensive if none of them are Drama?? An excuse.!??

          2. I would avoid generalisations. I gave you a broad answer that Drama is generally the most expensive, but Reality can be very expensive. It depends on the format rights, number of staff, locations, talent (such as Voice coaches). I’d consider Rove a variety, but no argument with chat.

    2. Also, dramas will have an overseas distribution deal before they start shooting so they can gather other income streams. Reality and panel shows are regional and don’t travel well.
