The Television Pitch Station (TV series)

The Television Pitch Station is an upcoming reality television series developed by Aura Oceania. The series would premiere in October 2023 and stream simultaneously on Flare+.

Format
Several creators would go over to network developmental executives at the regional Aura network (in the case of the original show, Aura Oceania) in a room called "The Television Pitch Station" and pitch their idea for a show (scripted or unscripted). The executives would then weigh in on the potential show and decide whether to approve or reject the concept for further development.

Following initial approval, each creator would then have 26 weeks from the initial pitch to produce a pilot episode for review during the next season's premiere (excluding the first season's), after which the head of programming would approve or reject further development.

Canada
YTV 2 (soon to be Aura Canada) has expressed interest in adapting the format for Canadian television, and has additionally licensed the original Australian show for broadcast.

United States
NF has expressed interest in adapting the format for American television, with the original Australian version being syndicated on AuraNightfall beginning in 2024; however, due to the nature of the format, a US-specific version would not be possible until the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike ends, since multiple scripted projects might be pitched in the series.

According to the head of programming at NF, once the Television Pitch Station format is adapted for US television, animated projects approved during the show that aren't approved in The Television Pitch Station would mostly be aired as a part of Toonthology, as a "lifeline" for rejected pilots to try a second time.

Japan
TV Akihabara has expressed interest in developing a Japanese-specific version that would stream on Niconico. The Japanese version would mostly accept only scripted pitches (mainly for anime series).

South Korea
Aura had expressed interest in developing a Korean version of the format.
