How do TV networks make the money to pay the stars of the shows some much. Where is the money coming from?
465559
The money comes from several different sources. Of course, the primary one is the direct sales of advertising. But other revenue streams happen too. For examples, affiliates ... local TV stations ... pay for the right to air a specific network. Each network owns local stations. Networks also own studios and services that produce for other studios and companies. Licensing of logos, brands and other network properties counts for income.

I've always wondered that myself. My guess it that the actors do it for free, because the get advertising for their new movie.  Then they don't pay the tonight show because they're giving a free appearance which ups the ratings. So probably no money changes hands.  Maybe airfare or something depending on how big the star is.

Advertising on their websites probably, or people signing up for their account. If it's like AOL, it's from paying a monthly bill for getting the Internet, the phone and cable. That's how they profit from it I guess.

all the revenue generated by the league and teams through tv contracts, team sales (jerseys, footballs, hats, etc) is placed into a pot and then divided equally among all teams. This means that some teams generate more revenue and put a larger amount of money into the pot. Also, the players union wants its share of the money also. They asked for 60% of revenue, meaning that 60% of all revenue would have to be spent on player contracts. Hope this helps

please always ask a question in detail.\nTV, almost everybody watches TV, And every month 2-5 channels appear in the business. So, there 60%  chances for a company that viewers will see that ad. The cost is high but the recurring profit is much more for the companies.

They publish a cast at any newspaper or casting e-group with the profile they are looking for, and lots of people shows, some of them are not even close to what is needed some of them are just what it is needed... after that, you just have to pay.

This is why you needn't be scared to invest yourself in a cable tv show.  Because broadcast tv is FREE.  Therefore, the producers have to get some kind of compensation for the time, effort, and money they invest into a new show.  They are paid by the advertisers to show commercials during their broadcast, which is the majority, if not all, of their income.  They are a slave to the advertisers.  And if not enough people are actually watching a show regularly, those people are not being exposed to the advertising, which means that the advertisers have then lost money, which means they seek out better shows to invest in, which means that the shows get no funding or attention from the network (who pays the show's producers from the revenue from the advertisers) and therefore get cancelled to make room for shows that will get the viewers.  Now, some shows are so good, that ballsy network execs will take a chance on them in the hopes that they will eventually grow into a big hit, with a lot of viewers, and therefore a lot of exposures to the advertisers that pay their salaries.\n\nWith cable, you don't have as much of a conflict of interest (yes, advertisers provide some of the revenue), but another part of their revenue comes from the cable companies, who charge the viewers monthly to be able to view certain networks.  Because of this, those shows aren't necessarily such a slave to viewers, and can also afford to be a little more ballsy with their programming (and not be scared of the more timid advertisers disassociating with that kind of content).  So cable shows can swear a little more, show a little more violence, etc.  Not that broadcast shows can be just as good, if not better, without this kind of content (Lost, House); but imagine watching a broadcast-version of Rescue Me.  I don't think it would be half the show it is without the allowance of the content that FX allows.\n\nSo keep all of this in mind and invest in shows wisely.  Keep along with the ratings, because they almost always predict the future of a show.  And you can't blame the networks as much as the American people for not also watching the show and keeping it alive.

Sponsorship of the program is what pays the bills for any commercial television show...including contestant prizes on game shows.  The producers of the show also have to come up with a certain portion of the money used.

Depends on the club they're stripping at really. The most common setup is that the dancers work for the tips they get on stage and from lap dances or whatever else the club provides. Only "big name" dancers, i.e. porn girls on the circuit, get paid just for showing up.\n\nMany clubs also require that the dancer pay a stage fee, kind of like a hair salon rents out chairs to stylists.\n\nThere are also what is referred to as "hustle clubs" where the dancers are expected to get the customers to buy them overpriced underboozed drinks when they're not performing. The girl then gets a cut of the profit from the drinks she "sells."\n\nThere are as many ways to run a strip club as there are strip clubs, I'd imagine, but these are the central themes that all others are a variation of. Clubs that pay house girls a salary or hourly rate are very rare.

I don't know that an average can be determined.  No matter what the appearance seems on the TV, these people are ALL performers.  They may have similar functions as real bailiffs and judges, they may even have experience in those jobs, but pay for television performers is based on individual contracts, worked out between the performers and the producers of the show.\n\nFactors determining the pay rate can be things like the show's popularity, market, longevity IN the program and even past experience.\n\nIt may be fairly easy to figure out averages in pay for REAL bailiffs and judges, since these things are a matter of public record.  But for show business types, these matters can be legally kept in confidence.

Most participants on the long running series receive a per diem payment for the time they spend on the show to make up for them leaving their jobs and lives to make millions for the producers and the network.  But once they're off the show, they get nothing else from the network.
