Everything starts with a pilot: two episodes, produced end to end. If it is greenlit, a twelve episode season follows, two a month across six months. Never a package on first contact.

Before you apply
Sponsors and event tickets fund the production. Microsoft sponsored advisor.TV during the Chicago era and never crossed into editorial influence. That standard holds for every sponsor on the network. A sponsor may appear when editorial finds them relevant, and sponsorship never guarantees it. Curation is the only filter, and no amount of money changes that.
