“I’ve always felt that everybody in Hollywood has exactly the same job,” executive (and former UPN chief) Dean Valentine told us in 2009. “They just call it different things. Everybody’s job is to package together ideas and talent and market them. That job is the same whether you’re an agent or a studio executive or a writer or a buyer or a seller… If you’re a buyer, all you’re thinking about is, ‘Is this going to make my network look really bad? Is it going to fail? Is it going to succeed? How does it fit in with a much broader strategic picture?’ When you’re a seller, you’re not looking at any strategic picture. You’re looking at closing the deal right now, period. It's one little focus.
When you’re a buyer, you’re looking at your schedule; you’re looking at the evolution of the business. You’re looking at advertisers, how they’re going to respond to it. Can you sell it? How much is it going to cost you to sell it? Where does it fit in on your schedule? Many more strategic considerations go in than simply your own passion for the show.”
