New York’s streets and sound stages will soon be bustling with small-screen stars and TV crews, as a record number of shows are scheduled to film here this fall. “We are proud to welcome back our long running shows as well as the record-breaking six new shows for the fall season,” Katherine Oliver, commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting told the Press, noting that the TV industry represents the largest portion of the 100,000 New Yorkers who work in entertainment production and generates $5 billion annually. The office has been seeing steadily rising days of production, with numbers more than doubled from 15,292 in 1993 to 34,718 in 2006, well past pre-9/11 peaks. Sound stage facilities say they are already feeling the crunch. “Absolutely there is more business here now, so there is more demand for space,” explained Anna Donovan, an assistant at Broadway Stages. Industry experts are crediting city incentives such as free permits for on-location shooting, free public locations and free police assistance, as well as recently implemented initiatives like the “Made in NY” program, which offers tax and marketing credits as well as other discounts to local film and television productions.
