Can I get a job?

If you're a red-hot producer or think you've got what it takes to be a great travel presenter, we're always on the lookout for new talent. We hire crew and presenters on a freelance basis, putting together the best team for each particular programme. There are currently no vacancies in LPTV, but it never hurts to be on our radar. If you wish to send us your resume/showreel, please email it to info@lonelyplanet.tv.

Can I send you a brilliant idea for a TV show?

LPTV has a slate of programmes in development, but we're smart enough to know we don't have a monopoly on good ideas or gripping stories, so we're open to co-developing concepts with other production companies and creative types. Short and snappy programme proposal can be emailed to info@lonelyplanet.tv. We respond to all submissions, but regret that posted proposals cannot be returned.
