We are working on organising a Talent TV Reality Show, something in the likes of Project Fame, West African idols, Nigerian Idol, star quest, Nigeria’s Got Talent etc, which are very successful reality show concepts. We need a good logistics framework which will address issues like; venue management, auditioning, publicity, marketing (for sponsors) etc.

In the main time, please, I urgently need advice/info on the following:
*When is the best time of the year to organise such reality show.

*What form of authorisations is necessary?

* Does the organisers of West African Idol, Nigerian Idol, Nigeria’s Got Talent etc had to get any authorisation from their American counterparts, that are the initiators of such concepts. (Like I said the concept of the reality show is adapted from the above already existing and very successful reality shows but with a niche)

For partnership, advice and general enquiries you can post here of email: kinharold2@yahoo.com 07034268732.

Thanks for the response on phone. please, more will be appreciated.

The best time to broadcast a reality show is during the rainy season, when most people prefer to stay at home rather than leave their houses. Also, brands experience a massive drop in their sales figures, especially beverage brands, thus they are more open to promos and sponsorships.

If you intend to host the Nigerian franchise of a reality show which was created by someone else, and is currently running in another part of the world, of course, you need permission, and also you will be paying fees.

Thanks, Guy. It then means that the organisers of West African Idol, Nigerian Idol, Nigeria's Got talent etc all took permission and paid royalty to their foreign counterparts.

In that vain, what is the difference btw Nigeria's Got Talent and Peak Talent Hunt, maybe change of name.

If you are keen about the reputation of your show, a new show might be a better route.

I have noticed that creating a new show is a lot safer especially if you have good resourses. Most times when you try to come up with a Nigerian version of shows in USA/UK, it's always a tough task because a lot of people expect it to be as good as the USA/UK version.

And it shows you are very creative if you can create a new show.

Am already working on a new and different name/concept for the show. Thanks for ur tip, I dont want anyone to compare me with their own standard. It will be my first and am ready to do it to the best quality, no matter how small. The more we do it, the better it will become year after year.

I'm sorry but your good idea isn't enough, you need a lot of MONEY, loads and loads of it. A good crew (like mine ) to pull off your great idea, beautiful set, logistics and good post production don't come cheap. That's not the heavy lifting as Nigerian TV stations will then take you for all you've got
Don't think they wouldn't compare your show with the ones out there, your sponsors will be the first to. I'm sure you compared Got Talent (home and abroad) with Peak Talent Hunt. So make those shows your base mark
The GOOD news is that if your idea is unique and creative enough you'd be the one to sell the franchise to others and you would easily get a local sponsor and make money. So far no Nigerian Reality show has cut it - that's why they die. That's why its easier to buy franchise (proj fame, Got Talent, idols) or model it around a successful show (ultimate search). Please give it your best.

Congratulations! Did you have to get a license from the Federal government like the lottery regulatory commission and co.? Did these other talent hunt show organizers have to do so?

Please, can you tell us if the show is still running?
Kindly advise us on how you achieved it.

Thanks.

You shouldn't be asking these questions on NL. Hire a legal counsellor, and also a business consultant to help you map out your target audience.

The data you get will determine the ideal time to run your show. We have a lot of great shows running 247. Why will your target audience leave these shows to watch yours?

Please, hire the right persons and they will give you expert advice after a thorough analysis. Seeking answers on NL makes you look unserious lol.
