[Fmpro] Cable TV series Bid

[Claude Castonguay]

True Pete,

but idealy we should not negociate based on back-end because that's  
one of the reasons why upfront money has diminished over the years.  
Producers realised you were going to make back-end so they offered  
less every year since roughly early 1980s..?

Plus, as some on the list are killing themselves repeating us, soon  
there might be no back-end and then, do we think that producers will  
graciously offer more money upfront to compensate? LOL

Best,

Claude
