Washington
AMERICA'S TV industry will make a record number of shows in 2017 as streaming services Netflix, Amazon and Hulu propel a swell in production that's creating an oversupply, veteran Fox executive John Landgraf said during his semi-annual presentation for critics.
TV networks will make 500 original scripted shows in 2017, almost 20 per cent more than the 419 produced in 2015, which was itself a record, according to Mr Landgraf, chief executive of 21st Century Fox Inc's FX Networks.
