Album sales have collapsed, with few artists making money from albums; touring is more lucrative.

Trouble is, you need to be somewhere which has a big film industry - another reason why I'm thinking about living in California.

We have heard projects with some of the writers, who we've been in business with for a long time at the studio, that we've heard as a studio - often, pitches that are still in their formation stage where we or the writers have wanted our input on developing them. We've probably heard more pitches with the network hat on. Certainly all of the outside pitches are that way, and many of the pitches that have been in great shape coming out of the studio we've heard from a network perspective.
