Apple Valley's Yummy Channel

I have brought the rights to Apple Valley's Yummy Channel. So the shows that Pennelson Productions (TV Group) produces will aire there. So far the lineup includes: Cooking with Claudia; Tatiana's Tidbits; and Cocktails & Chad. We're working on the logos and producing the final shows-the pilot shows proved successful, so we're going to revamp things and start making some money.

Pahala Shore

Filming is going well, we are doing another intense filming session. We added to the cast-Lucy Bright, a contestant on "Make Me A Model" and Gloria Fardage. Right now thier roles are still small, but there are plans to make thier storylines larger.

We are also losing a cast member permenantly and another one-for an extended time period. I won't say which is which, since sometimes there is room for them to come back and other times thier future storylines die (or get extended).

The series is changing slightly, I'm not sure how to describe it, but the episodes formats are different. Scene changes are not as arupt, characters are developing more and with the smaller cast, we can show more details in a story instead of just telling them in order to move things along. I admit, it is hard not to jump ahead, especially when we have storylines streaching to 2011 and threatening to go beyond that. So at least there will be a soap for the cast...as long as they are willing to work and I am willing to keep them :)

Buying More Rights

Have been thinking about investing in a gossip magazine. Perhaps hosting the magazine and using journalists to collect information-much like STAR, but STAR has been absent from the scene for a few months. Perhaps I should contact Nadine and offer to buy the rights to the magazine and continue it. With PS airing monthly, thus giving me more time to invest in other projects, I think a monthly magazine would be good. There are some cons since most of the information would depend on roving eye journalists, so there would be a very tight production schedule to get things out monthly. However, if we stocked up on celebrity interviews, it could work. Perhaps publishing the magazine six times a year and selling ad space as well. Can you imagine full page ads of the best products in SimNation?



Speaking of ads, Make Me a Model has also been absent for a while. I should ask about buying the rights to that as well.
