I've known for awhile now, a reality show, like "big brother", or something of that sort with psychics, mediums, witches... Working alongside true crime, missing persons cases, etc., It would be a hit. I promise.
Those of us who have appeared on paranormal television shows are very often asked when our shows will be returning with new episodes. The short answer is: THEY WON’T…at least not for the foreseeable future.
Why? The short answer is: the shows were no longer making enough money in advertising dollars to justify the costs of producing the shows. Another reason is: the show’s popularity and ratings had declined.
Currently, to the best of my knowledge, there is no network actively and/or regularly investing in new paranormal content. The only network-based paranormal shows that are still continuously creating new episodes are Ghost Adventures (because it continues to be popular and makes money for the network) and Paranormal Caught on Camera (because it is very inexpensive to produce).
People also often ask why don’t those of us who appear on paranormal shows take our shows to platforms like You Tube. The short answer is: it is very expensive to produce television shows. Without being bankrolled by network funding and promotion, it is next to impossible to produce a television series. Plus: most shows and their concepts are owned by the networks who once produced them.
Will networks ever return to funding paranormal shows? MAYBE. Trends in television often change, but for now, networks are not investing money in paranormal shows like they once did.
All of this is very upsetting to those of us who love paranormal TV shows, but the final decisions rest in the hands of network executives who control the money to fund the shows. And when the networks are not seeing a significant return on investment, they will no longer provide funding. We may not like it, but it’s smart business.
For those of you who may doubt or argue with what I have said above: don’t bother. It’s factual.
