"Trying to launch aTV series for indy talents"


          

I'm trying to get a TV series on late night, on one of the local TV stations. The show's focus is to help independent bands, performers, etc, etc. to get onto TV, to help increase their exposure.

I can get bands and performers interested, easily. However, neither I, nor anyone I've talked with, are really the "sales person" who can approach businesses for ad sponsorship. We had tried this, years ago, but then the economy took its dive, and all our potentials lost interest.

Recently, I came across "fan funded" sites, and have tried to put my project up there. The only one to give the ok is a European one:

Here are some others I've tried:
http://www.kickstarter.com/ (rejected, without explanation)
http://www.artistshare.com

Is part of my problem in finding people to be the "sales person" that until we get all our sponsors, no one (including me) get paid? Any suggestions, or anyone interested in helping?
