NATPE Notes

Here's the toast...

“From our members, we have four significant first-run strips coming out next season, which includes Rachael Ray, who was the toast of NATPE,” says Burg.

Post-NATPE

Real Talk With Kietta,” an issues based, adult-oriented program discussing such topics as surviving cancer, teens at risk and men on the "down low," earned rave reviews from audience members of NBC’s “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” during his “Sold/Not Sold” segment.  Well received at the 2006 NATPE Convention, “Real Talk” has received multiple network bids.

NATPE Blogged

• Well...I had quite the time at the NATPE Educational Foundation workshop today.
• It's finally time for me to push off into the dark waters of...networking. Print up the business cards, dry clean the suit-- I'm goin' to Boston!
• Farmers Almanac TV just returned from the National Association of Television Programming Executives conference (NATPE) in Las Vegas last week where we learned that the strategy of launching a series on public television and a broadband network on the internet is the perfect approach to building a media brand in this day and age of convergence.
• Turns out not even people who have hosted syndicated talk shows and attended annual programming conventions can't get the Name of the National Association of Television Program Executives, or the acronym, straight.
• The National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) did not know what they were in for when "Shut Up and Model!" took its 2006 Conference & Exhibition by storm.

Conference Update

From TV Week:

The National Association of Television Program Executives has scheduled its 2007 conference for Jan. 15-18, once again holding the event at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas.

NATPE Alert

Says Variety:

It's early, of course, for Warner Bros. to start planning its NATPE party to celebrate off-network deals, but this is one of those rare series that arrives feeling like it's been on the air for a while.

Here's the thing: it's NEVER to early to start planning your NATPE party.
