‘GMA’ Producer: ‘The Bar Is High for What Will Air’

“The TV moment that people will think about afterwards” helps determine what will appear on talk shows, according to Patty Neger, coordinating producer at Good Morning America.

She was a panelist at the Publicity Club of New York event on Thursday about pitching morning and daytime TV talk shows.

Neger advised thinking of “the visual ways to tell stories in terms of videos, photos and graphics, since it’s not just talking heads.” The GMA anchors are also active on social networks, so she suggested including social media tie-ins with the pitch.

GMA is interested in “informative, buzzy, interactive content,” Neger noted.
