Put the concept on paper. Describe everything about the game show. If you have an idea for the host, include that, particularly if that host has been used before by that station, but currently isn't working. Many times the producers love a particular host and want to use her if the right show is developed. Create a typical script for the show.

Pick the television station that gets the concept and find the appropriate contact. Every television station has a website that lists names of different members, including show producers. When you create a game show, you may have to send it to several places to get any response. Make sure you change any information that is station specific if you send it on to others.
