Is Cincinnati ready for her close-up? Kristen Erwin sure thinks so. As Executive Director of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission, Erwin works hard to bring Hollywood films and television productions to the region. In this week's blogs, she shares how attracting films to the region isn't just about glamour and glitz - its about creating jobs and supporting talent. Erwin also muses over Cincinnati's love affair with reality television - we're #1 among the top 75 markets - so it's no surprise she says that shows keep popping up all over town. read full bio

The Reality TV hub? Cincinnati

Posted By: Kristen Erwin 4/15/2010

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. We have worked with the following shows to bring in jobs and revenue in the last two years:

2009- Television
