Well, I've been to countless sitcom and talk show tapings, but I had never been to the taping of a concert special for PBS. Until last night. Great experience. I highly recommend it if you're a fan of the star of the show.
I was having breakfast this morning with fellow fans and some questions came up that I think members of this group may be able to answer, especially Mark J. We would like to know something about how a show like this is financed. For example, who pays for it? The record label (Decca, in this case)? Because it's big promotion for a forthcoming album. Or, does the production company (I forgot the name but it does a lot of shows for PBS) finance it and then sell the rights to PBS stations? I admit that I am clueless about how such shows (this one will be used for fund-raising beginning this summer) are financed and who makes how much money for making them. And, while we're on the subject, how much, if any, does the artist make? Any answers/information would be greatly appreciated. By a bunch of women -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
