"The TV Shopper/ FYI Television Networks are half hour TV shows featuring local area businesses. Allan Matthews is the host and producer of the shows which air in selected cities up and down the east coast on local cable TV systems. Additionally, these shows can be hosted on a web site for 24/7 viewing.
Allan Matthews' TV Shopper and FYI makes it economical for small businesses to make a half hour TV show for informing the viewing public about their business's products and services.
Allan Matthews, a veteran of radio and TV broadcasting, finds the deals, finds the most unique products, finds the bargains and makes these known to the viewer through his unique eclectic style tailored to each client, product, or service.
Multi-Camera network style productions can bring you, the viewer, into intimate contact with these businesses for a real show and tell treat unlike any 30 second commercial or quickie studio interview, or even those highly scripted staged infomercials could possibly achieve. TV Shopper/ FYI Television Networks shows are about direct sale products and services while FYI is more about businesses that primarily help or assist your health and well being or standard of living. With Allan, you never know what surprise just waits as he introduces some of the community's most fascinating American Business Heroes™ of The TV Shopper.
Each month, Allan will present a series of on-location shows of such businesses as B2B services, wholesale outlets, computer stores, divorce-bankruptcy and workers compensation attorneys, plastic surgeons, auto dealerships, hobby and recreational activities, auto repair technicians, mortgage brokers, restaurant tours, dance- fitness-and martial arts centers, tool rental facilities, home improvement contractors and specialty suppliers and furniture stores, and the list just keeps on expanding each month. Each show is in a rotation with others in a given market and are repeated for several weeks or as long as our American Business Heroes™ desire to be on the air with us. Allan Matthews' TV Shopper/ FYI Television Networks is one of the most economical ways for small businesses to gain tremendous community exposure for its products and services.
If you would like to contact us about the show, or to have Allan contact you about being on the show or becoming a business sponsor, send us an E-mail or better yet, call Allan at 800-720-1928 today.

Our Production
Lights,
Cameras, … Action!
We
shoot a TV show and 30 second commercial in a day, on location, or a suitable
space that is convenient for you and the show. This could be at your business or a local studio or even an
empty large room 15 by 15 ft typical.
The
more cameras we use the larger the space needs to be. Some shows such as a retail store are best shot with a
single camera walking around while other shows use multiple cameras up to 4, 3
for the interview and a 4th for capturing insert scenes in a sit
down conversational interview. No
scripts, maybe an outline of topics we need to cover but you just relax and
chat with the interviewer. We
piece it together later.
Sample Program
If you don’t think your
business offers a good location for the TV audience we can use an old Hollywood
trick called a chroma key screen set.
This uses 2 cameras and two opposing colored screens, one for you and
one for the interviewer. A space
of 15 by 15 ft or larger is desired.
A smaller space can be used but it limits the creative freedom for the
virtual sets we work with.
This may be your typical room with furniture pushed out of the way:

Now with a 2 camera virtual set:



What looks like this:

Shows like this after editing:

Anything’s possible, virtual living room overlooking the ocean, or place you in a high end corporate office if you want, or something appropriate for your business.

What about High Definition?
We do have High Definition for special projects but
the fact is, while many networks are using high definition, most of the current
TV cablecast or broadcast is still done in analog or digital standard
definition TV. TV Shopper and FYI
airs on cable TV Local Origination Channels as well as from this website. This is still standard definition and
will be for some time in the future.
If you have a project that requires High Definition Video, be sure to
ask about it because we do have the camera and edit facilities to deliver a
true high definition program, 1080i
format. The video must be
delivered as a downloadable webcast at this time because there is no consumer level
distribution format in widespread use capable of HDTV except from a computer
set up to display HDTV.
How can I have a show on this Website because I want
24/7 availability?
Allan Matthews selects a
small number of his shows that air on Cable each week to be featured on this
website FREE. However, all TVShopper clients have the
opportunity to get 24/7 webcast of their TV Shopper or FYI TV show. Currently ALL new clients are receiving
a webcast version in Windows Media 9 format for broadband hosted on our
server. We keep it there for one
month or longer as space permits.
If we see you are using this hosted show, it will remain there for the
duration of your current contract.
If you do not use it we pull it down and you will need to contact Allan
Matthews to have it put back.
All TVShopper and FYI TV Network Clients are contacted by e-mail when
the link is available. TVShopper and FYI TV Network clients
receive the link and will need to have their webpage developer insert the link
for them.
Don’t have a website? Well, every business should have one
today.. A website is the easiest
and best way to post a link to your show but some have had good success with
advertising the link in printed media such as a business letterhead or in your
e-mail signature: e.g.
