then you have to ask yoursself this. "How does any network television show actually pay their million dollar actors, crew, and get the money to shoot and location.. when its on public television???" You can apply the above question to a game show, reality show, a Late show or whatever.
the answer?
Advertisement. Those 15 to 30 second commercials actually pay a grip for airtime. advertisements, sponsors, and their network pays for the shows expenses whether its sending some poor guy to brazil for survivor or giving him a 500 dollar watch on price is right. Of course airtime for friends would cost a lot more than some other show. and the superbowl still probably charges millions for 15 to 30 seconds of airtime. sounds ridiculous huh?
