Earlier in the year I investigated just this question. At first I thought Quinn Martin was a lock, but I think the most he had on in any one season was like five 1-hour shows in like 1973. Aaron Spelling produced a lot more television, though a lot of it was TV movies. I think he had 6 hours of series on in late 70s, but probably in some weeks got that up to 10 hours or more including made for TV movies.
Wolf is in a league of his own though with programming series television.
