TALKING SHOP: Eli Lehrer, senior VP of non-fiction at US cablenet Lifetime, is plotting his channel's way out of what boss Rob Sharenow has termed a "creative crisis" in factual television.
Lehrer talks about the challenges of finding great formats like Discovery's Naked and Afraid, and also the excitement of hitting on something like Lifetime's new show Born in the Wild, inspired by a videoclip on YouTube.
