Yeah the idea doesn’t really have a story worthy problem and stakes don’t sound like they are necessarily motivating the MC rather justifying the premise.

This is an idea for the basic premise of a comedy web series not a film or TV show. The series is about 2 brothers that promised their dying father to maintain his legacy by keeping his failing TV station running but they have no budget or advertisers and end up using unskilled members of the general public. They produce content that can’t be aired on commercial channels they post it online end up becoming a huge online hit.

So the individual episodes for the web series will be a mix of episodes form the brother’s story to keep the station running and portions of the content they produce.

Not sure if we’re over working the idea but it would be good to have a solid concept for the premise. Will work on a different draft for the logline.

Thanks for the help.

DPG I agree the MC seems driven by duty does feel a bit labored rather than apparent as a result of the premise.

Tried a version with an effort to save the community from a corporate financial exploit.

After the head of a major TV network threatens to convert his community TV station into a home shopping channel to exploit its elderly viewers, Simon (on the verge of bankruptcy) must fight the network to uphold his dying father?s wish to keep the station running and save its loyal audience from financial exploits.
