Show feeling a little flat? I am for wholesale stealing. If you have a friend or relative in another market, have them record and send you a show. Or cruise the web for markets you might like to go and see if they have shows posted online. You will be amazed the ideas you can steal and incorporate into your show. Miami is one of my favorite markets for stealing ideas. And in a plug for my own network, Fox Report is a pretty rocking newscast.
Stealing ideas is kind of like reading fashion magazines-- you're not gonna walk out and buy the whole outfit, but maybe you can grab something here or there that'll update your closet.
There's a saying that if you want to be a good writer, read good writers. Same goes for producing. If you want to be a good producer, watch t.v. you admire and imitate it. Eventually, you gather all these ideas you've seen along the line and develop your own groove.
