After a long day with your 9 to 5, you finally had the chance to put your feet up and watch primetime TV shows. You hold up your remote and switch through handful of channels and after taking a peek at one show, you say to yourself: “I have a better idea than that!” Your creative juices surge up and you realize this idea could be the next BIG thing on primetime! The question now is: Where do you channel this creativity?

Mark Bowness and his success with Tribewanted bred the creation of thenerve.tv – the World’s first crowdsourced TV production company. The goal is to bridge the gap between members of the public and TV broadcasters all around the world. This is so that you and your idea could be heard and materialized and maybe, just maybe, be the replacement of that primetime TV show you were watching a while back.

This approach in creating TV programs is a completely new idea and the media industry will have to race forth to be the first to launch an idea from the crowd.

Being a member or Producer of thenerve.tv offers you lots of benefits. First, you are entitled to access their online community where you can interact, pitch in your ideas and build your profile. Next, you will receive online training and development from idea creation to TV production. You will also be able to meet other people who have the same passion as you do and gain support, skills and experience from interaction. You can, most of all, submit your ideas for “’The Next Big TV Show” and if this idea is chosen then you will earn 50% of the profit – a very good way to channel creativity and earn. The yearly fee of £60 / $120 will give you all these benefits and more that are unmentioned.

The hunt for the next big thing on television is a global one and Mark and his team have these things outlined: From 1000’s of TV show ideas 10 will be chosen, by members of thenerve.tv community, to be developed and a 3 minute ‘taster’ video of your idea created. Mark will then pitch your TV show to 10 TV commissioners in America and 10 TV commissioners in the UK with the aim of getting one program from a member of the public on to television.

Currently, thenerve.tv is getting people with different interests in joining. Some of the members are those who are already creating videos for YouTube. Others are actors and artists who want to get involved with production. Some of them are those who are interested in creating music.
