VOICEAMERICA ORIGINAL SHOW DEVELOPMENT

New network programs are considered through a selection process. If you are interested in hosting a live internet talk radio show on VoiceAmerica, your first step is to pitch us your show idea by speaking with an Executive Producer.

Our initial phone interview allows us to evaluate you as a potential host. We will also discuss important program details and business arrangements related to the initial 13 week series. If your show idea meets our criteria, you will then be asked to submit a Show Proposal in writing. Your concept will then be reviewed by the Network. If your show is accepted by the Network, your Executive Producer will put together your host contract with VoiceAmerica. Your show will then enter the initial six to eight week pre-production process for the launch of your radio show.
