"With The Business of Television, Ken Basin has created a powerful tool for people of all levels of experience in the television business. In an industry where the rules are being re-written daily, Ken has found a clear through-line that delivers a foundation of knowledge that you can use to jump in and begin to re-write the rules yourself."

"This book would not make a good TV show. It is, however, about as comprehensive and readable a guide to how television gets made as you can find. I'll admit, after over a quarter of a century in the business, there are things in here I didn't know. With an insider's perspective and a lawyer's clarity, Ken Basin lays it all out (even the technical stuff). It is an essential reference book, both dictionary and encyclopedia, for anyone interested in the serious business of television."

-Chris Keyser, Writer and Executive Producer; Creator, Party of Five



"A masterful job! Basin provides a readable and comprehensive guide to the uninitiated, while offering knowledgeable insiders a valuable and incisive analysis of this ever-evolving industry."

-Bert Fields, Entertainment Attorney, Partner, Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP

"EVERYONE hates Business Affairs people - but NO ONE hates Ken Basin. That's because he's smart, honest, and helpful, and because he behaves with honor. Turns out, he writes that way, too. I thank him for explaining the future to me."

-Billy Ray, Writer, Director, and Executive Producer; Creator, The Last Tycoon

If every producer, manager, agent and lawyer in our industry took the time to read Ken's book and really invest in understanding each step in the process of making a great TV show, we could all save a lot of time and pain."
