Syndicator Telco Productions Sets 3Q Specials

Among new specials that Telco Productions is offering stations for the third quarter, The Fashion Hero is billed as “the world’s first role-model reality competition.”

The four-part one-hour specials are “at the forefront of a global movement that aims to celebrate diversity and to completely overturn the fashion industry’s perception of beauty.”

The Fashion Hero sets out to find models of different shapes and sizes and is hosted by Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, who has struggled with her own body image issues. She oversees the competition as the would-be models are judged by a panel of designers and compete to be the face of a marketing campaign for their fashion brands.

Telco Productions is also offering:

• Sounds of Summer: PJ Rasmussen and Boardwalk Jazz Band, a half-hour special featuring 21 of New York’s finest young musicians playing summer time tunes.

• Pacific Blues, a six-part half-hour series highlighting fishing battles near Hawaii and includes tips on preparing delicious seafood dishes.

The broadcast window for all three specials is July 1 to Sept. 30, with a 50-50 barter split.
