Have you got The Nerve?
By Joe | April 16, 2008
In a bold and audacious move, I have signed up to be an executive producer at Nerve TV, the world’s first crowd-sourced media company. All sounds very grand, but what the heck does it mean?
Well, it means I can now bounce around ideas I have for TV programmes with similar like-minded people and industry insiders. It also means those ideas, if deemed worthy by the Nerve ’suits’, will be fast-tracked straight onto the laps of the people who commission such programmes in the UK, US and OZland.
And why have I joined such a creative band of wandering miscreants?
Because I can.
And so can you.
Have a look at what The Times had to say about our band of merrymen here then head over to Nerve HQ and see what all the fuss is about.
They say we all have a book inside us, we’ve also all got an idea for the next BIG TV programme in us. Share your idea… you never know, it could be THE ONE. Bigger than Big Brother, ‘Stenders, X-Factor and Kerry Katona’s mouth all put together. And if it is, you get 50% of the spondoonies (profits, in accountancy speak).
That means if the programme idea is Simon Cowell-esque enough, your days of sitting on the floor eating other people’s leftovers with your fingers are over. Or is that just me? Tell me it’s not. Please.
Anyways, I’m not one for banging on, but this Nerve thing is really taking off big-time with the Beeb, Channel 4 and other media mogulites worldwide. Lordy, I’ve even just gone and bought a TV channel in New Zealand! Well, not me personally actually, but the organisation has. I could just about afford the remote control batteries - a vital component of media vision nonetheless.
So, in a pistachio shell, get on board while the offer is still open.
As those lottery people say, It could be you…
Or you.
Or you.
(Hopefully I’m banking on it being me, though, so tough.)

Joe,
Interesting idea - the link to the Times is not working by the way - got an idea (embryonic) based on Life in Spain - I will work it up more and get back to you……….
cheers
Rob.
