I’m Mark Hoebich, the CEO & Founder of TVtracker.com. I wrote the business plan for TVtracker.com back in 1999 based in part on my application essay to Stanford University’s MBA program. Though I wasn’t admitted to Stanford I chose to pursue my dream of launching an Internet start-up by taking out a loan and starting the company from home. Thank goodness Stanford turned me down, because today TVtracker.com serves over 250 major entertainment and media companies in over 15 countries and operates out of offices in Hollywood, California. TVtracker.com is the industry’s number one destination for TV development tracking, and is continually ranked as one of the Internet’s top destinations for current program tracking, feature film tracking, broadband programming, daily TV ratings, industry credits & contacts, overall deals lists, and much more.

With TVtracker.com, you can begin tracking a project long before a series makes the primetime schedule or a project is covered in the industry trades – gaining valuable lead time. With TVtracker.com you can begin tracking a project as soon as the concept is bought by a network or syndication company and then follow the project through script delivery, pilot production, series order and beyond. That means that for a significant part of the projects in development out there, you can track their progress even before a script or treatment has been turned into the network and many months before a decision is made to produce a pilot.

I’m also often asked why people give development information to TVtracker.com if it’s a secret. The answer is information is its own currency in entertainment. Executives and agents routinely trade information in order to get more information. TVtracker.com has established itself as a development nexus for the television industry. Furthermore, TVtracker.com’s sources know that by participating and contributing to the information they insure that their company is represented accurately to the industry at large.
“TVtracker.com stands at the crossroads of the business, between agents, studios and networks and offers an objective resource that I’ve used for many years. It’s been a great asset because their information is both accurate and timely.”

TVtracker.com provides you with the most accurate and timely television development tracking, giving you real time information that you can act on immediately. And no other service allows you to track more: presently the company gives you access to the projects in development at the top 33 broadcast networks and cable networks and the leading 17 syndication companies, making TVtracker.com the most comprehensive tracking service on the Internet.
Though no service can promise you that they have every single development project out there, TVtracker.com’s average number of projects in active development is typically 1,500 records - quadruple the nearest competitor. The trades and other tracking services will typically report on a few hundred development projects over the course of the TV development season, making TVtracker.com the obvious choice for anyone serious about the television business.
“Nobody tracks more television series development than TVtracker.com. If you need
to know what the networks or studios are developing they’re one of the best
values out there. I fully recommend TVtracker.com to anyone who is truly serious
about working in television.”

Under Current shows you can find any original on-air series or program among the 33 broadcast and cable networks and 17 syndication companies tracked by TVtracker.com. Current program tracking allows you to easily get information regarding current on air series. Find out who’s working on which shows, how many episodes have been ordered for a particular series, synopses, production office phone numbers, writing staffs, actors, assigned current executives and much more. By including both current programming and TV development, TVtracker.com saves its clients time by providing a complete picture of the TV business from concept through production.

All current shows now come with episode guides that detail episode synopses, guest stars, writing credits, director credits, rating and share for specific episodes, and much more! Episode Guides run 4 to 6 weeks in advance of episodic air dates meaning TVtracker.com get’s its information before audiences have viewed new programming!
“TVtracker.com is my one-stop shop for all my television research. I build my
phone sheet from their list of executive’s phone numbers, prepare for meetings
with their credits database and use it for my development tracking. Don’t tell my boss!”

Another service that can get your concept noticed by the network is the Overall deals section. Overall deals are development deals made at the studio and network with A-list creative talent. By subscribing to our standard subscription you get access to this powerful list, which is incredibly valuable because, now, more than ever, networks like working with talent tied to overall deals. Vertical integration encourages networks to develop programming with the talent already secured with their sister studio or production partners. By involving talent from the overall deal list in your project you’ll have a much better shot at selling a new series to a network.
“With year round development a service like TVtracker.com has become
increasingly useful to me at my company. Though nobody can claim to have 100%
of the development projects out there, TVtracker.com comes pretty close.”
