What is Television Essentials?

Television Essentials is the complete database of every single television programme and radio programme with contact names and details, waiting for your approach. It costs £99 per year to sign up.

All regions, all demographics from gay to gardening, from new mothers to youth culture, from soldiers to teachers via 'what's on' in each area to brand new programmes airing next season. This is Britain's database of television and Radio looking for products to feature.

With hundreds of hours of airtime to fill and each and every production office actively hunting for interesting products, guests, ideas to fill airtime on a daily basis, this is your first stop call to putting yourself in their eyeline at exactly the right moment.

They are waiting for new products, samples, ideas and guests to come to their attention.

If you don't introduce your product, chances are they will either never hear of you, or just find someone else who does the same thing but reached their attention first..

Simply by sending your press release or sample to the person in charge of the content of each programme, your product is now within easy reach of a television audience.

By sending a sample, the chance of someone in the show's production office wanting it is higher and that means the chance of your product appearing on the television programme is greatly increased.

The Phone Call

"Hi, we're a new company, we make limited-edition home furnishings, really interesting new bold designs - very now. Would you be interested in featuring them on the new series you're making?"

"Could you send over some pictures so I can take a look?"

"Yes I'll email them over now."

"Actually, they are great, we could use these in Big Brother and a few other productions, what else do you have?"

"We had no idea how straightforward contacting production companies would be. I think we assumed we'd come up against a brick wall, but it's been great for us. It works. Plus it cost us almost nothing! That always helps!"

Mushrooms...?

"Hi we are a store that sells 200 different types of mushrooms. Would this be of use to your cookery programme?"

"I think our listeners would love to know about you. Would you like to come on the programme?"
