But if The Food Network was to extend its revenue streams to include ancillary activities,then they need to come up with a financial enticement. Madonna made a severely large advance on her next concert tour gross, movie appearances, albums, etc. <br><br>It's obvious that a Food Network show can often launch a thriving business centered around the very star that it created. So, pony up more advance money, fund some of the investment in to the various side projects and everyone is happy. <br><br>but to just expect a share of cookbook revenue without an initial incentive is wrong.steve cornThu, 03 Jan 2008 04:28:07 -0000
