Return of the History Channel
January 14, 2011
Three top development executives from the History Channel will be at
Westphal on Wednesday, January 26th as a follow up to the visit of
Nancy Dubuc, President of the History and Lifetime Networks. The
executives will discuss the development process which the History
Channel uses to bring a show from the idea stage to air. Our friends
from History will also hear and give feedback to students on their
ideas for television programs. The event is at 11 AM in Stein
Auditorium.
Students interested in pitching their projects to the
History Channel executives should e-mail their pitches to Karen Curry,
the Executive Director of the Kal and Lucille Rudman Institute, by
January 20th at kac387@drexel.edu.
Karen will be sharing the pitches in advance with our guests who will
select a limited number to which they’ll give feedback. Pleased keep in
mind that the History Channel will likely respond only to pitches for
non-fiction shows and we recommend that your pitch be tailored to the
style and audience of the History Channel and its sister channels.
