Program Submissions

FamilyNet Television regularly looks for lifestyle shows, sitcoms, talk shows, movies, reality programs, and dramas that are made for family viewing. FamilyNet Television is currently accepting submissions of scripted programming ideas including sitcoms, dramas, or movies. To manage the large influx of ideas and comply with our legal obligations, we follow strict guidelines.

Show Idea Guidelines

Following are the requirements and guidelines that must be followed as well as what you should expect. Please read them carefully before contacting us.

  1. You must be a seasoned producer, own a credited production company, or have attached a seasoned producer or a credited production company to the show. We only work with experienced professionals who have delivered shows for network television, cable networks, or local stations. Although we are open to working with a wide range of production companies, the lead producer's background and skill is paramount.
  2. Send a one-page letter of inquiry with contact information and area of interest to the address below. If you are an individual producer, include a copy of your personal credits. If you are a production company, include a copy of your company credits and a resume or bio that includes your company principals. Please DO NOT include any show ideas as we are legally unable to review the ideas and will return all materials unread.
  3. If your experience or production company credits meet our requirements, we will contact you for further information. At that time, we will request a demo reel of your work and at least one produced show episode. Please wait until FamilyNet Television contacts you. Due to the large volume of interest that we receive, this step is necessary to ensure that we are able to review all inquiries.
  4. If we decide to review your show ideas, we will contact you to request your treatment or filmed material. You will be required to sign a legal agreement to protect the rights of both parties. This submission release form, provided by FamilyNet Television, must be signed prior to the sharing of ideas.
  5. After the submission release form is signed, the producer may then pitch ideas for consideration to the network in the form of a treatment or other filmed material. Submitted materials will not be returned.

Inquiries should be sent to:
