OK- I KNOW YOU WANT TV- WHAT IS THE FIRST SHOW YOU CAN GET ON?
–Rick Frishman–Founder of Planned TV Arts, http://www.plannedtvarts.comYes- you want to get on Oprah… I know BUT you have to start with local TV. Here is your strategy. First- call the local CABLE station that is in your community. I live in Long Island- so for me it is Ch 12 Cable. They have news all day long and are looking for local newsmakers. That is the key word “Newsmaker”.

When you call up your local Cable News show- you are #1 Local and #2 a newsmaker. What are you going to teach the local community? Why are you a local celebrity?- and how are you reacting to what is in the news today?

Send the producer your press kit and make sure you give them all of your phone numbers. Let the producer know that you can make it at any time- even last minute. And also give them your web site.

Once you get on this first show— you are on your way. Post the interview to your site and stay in touch with the producer- Try to become a regular.
