There's a lot more money floating around now than there was then, he said. But other things, like the value of experienced TV producers, are still the same.When Harris Katleman, who was president and CEO of 20th Century Fox Television in the 1980s and early 1990s, entered the TV business in the 1950s, there were three big broadcast networks, cable didn't exist, and streaming media was decades away from being invented.
"The whole business is topsy turvy," Katleman, who recently released with grandson, Nick Katleman, a memoir,"You Can't Fall Off the Floor: And Other Lessons from a Life in Hollywood," told Business Insider."Netflix is spending money like it's going out of style ... The networks can't compete with that."
"They are the superstars," Katleman said, of writers and producers, who are the hitmakers in TV, unlike in film, where actors and directors often land the biggest paydays."But the pressure on them ... They better deliver."
