Special Events​

Special Events were not planned out well last turn. They are simply unwieldy to do unless they run throughout the entire 12 week stretch as MLB would in the summer. Therefore, SE's will be limited to those that fit into such a narrow spectrum from now on. The Bidding this turn shall include:

NFL AFC 5-7 sunday rights

NFL NFC 5-7 sunday rights

NFL Sunday Night Football 8-10 rights

NFL Monday Night Football 9-11 rights

NFL Thursday Night Football 8-10 rights

NCAA football 5-7 Saturday Rights

Also networks remember that you can each create one show of your own. Nobody elected to do that last turn, so I feel I should remind you of such an ability.

Bidding shall close at 8pm EST wednesday, and orders shall lock at 10pm EST thursday. Orders shall be done via interactive google docs which should go up tonight or tomorrow. How that will work is that there will be a mast schedule template where each network will fill out their own schedule, meaning I won't have to copy paste every slot over. Producers will also each have their own tab where they can (and should) post their shows that are airing (and any that don't can be auto sold to WBT), how much they cost, essential stats like that. It will make it an easy place to access information, for everyone, especially me as the GM.

Let's start the Sunday Night Football bidding at $1.5 million, gentlemen. Also, would it take up the 10:00 slot, or just the 8:00 and 9:00 slots?

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

$1.25M on Thursday Night Football, I suppose.

I may wish to buy this, actually. How much are you looking for, and would it be a 30 or 60 minute show?

A 60 minute tv show and the producer's cost will be 1,2m, so something along those lines.
Of course, I can always negotiate both the length and the cost of the show.
