Television Programming/Development

From developing in-house productions to covering international events, television production is one of Tel-Air’s strengths. With 25 years working on the Miss Universe Pageant, the world’s most watched non-sporting event, Tel-Air has mastered the art of fine television programming. Clientele include Michael Mann, Steven Cannell, Witt, Thomas & Harris, Paramount, National Geographic, Trans World International, CBS, and NBC.

In addition to commissioned work, Tel-Air also develops original first run programming. With membership in the National Association of Television Programming Executives and numerous relationships with network, cable and advertising executives, the ability to find funding and placement for television programming is within reach. Accomplishments include co-ventures with National Geographic; the annual Miss Florida USA & Teen USA Pageants seen live regionally, nationally, and internationally; “Spring Break Reunions I & II” with Frankie Avalon which attained a national clearance rate of 95%; numerous national horse and dog racing events and the Emmy Award winning “Jockey” with William Conrad.
