The explosion of reality TV has created practically a whole new filmmaking genre that didn't exist just five or six years ago. A survey of the top 75 TV markets last year reported that the Cincinnati market ranks #1 in reality TV viewing. Scarborough Research, which tracks media and lifestyle trends, found 29 percent of tri-state viewers say they typically tune in to reality shows. The national average is 23 percent. Cincinnati Film Commission has capitalized on this poll and reached out to production companies to shoot where the highest viewership resides. They have listened and have come to Cincinnati to film.
