Networks reportedly passing on follow-up reality show to 'Sarah Palin's Alaska'

Sarah Palin is reportedly pitching another reality show, but hasn’t had much success getting it picked up.

The Mark Burnett-produced follow up to TLC’s Sarah Palin’s Alaska is rumored to have been turned down by TLC and A&E.

MSNBC reports that the series “focused on Palin’s husband Todd and his career as a championship snowmobile racer.”

The reason behind the networks passing on the series is said to be from its expensive asking price, as Sarah Palin’s Alaska reportedly set back TLC $800,000-$1 million an episode.

The Telegraph reports that the first Palin reality show, which followed her brood on various Alaskan activities such as deep sea fishing and camping, broke a ratings record for a debut episode on The Learning Channel (TLC) with more than five million viewers in the first episode alone.

However, the series declined after that initial episode, as viewers were likely to be interested in seeing the political family, to 3 million by the second episode.

No word yet on if another network is interested in watching a reality show about the former Republican vice presidential candidate’s husband’s career as a champion snowmobile racer, but for now, both Discover Communications – which owns TLC – and A&E Networks is not interested.
