Internships and Reality TV
Hey all, I was wondering if any one had some info on this topic. Say someone was to intern for a television network, for example, lets say MTV/Viacom Network (that being, mtv, vh1, spiketv etc.) would they be considered ineligible to audition for their television shows?

My understanding of the FCC rules is that you are considered to have been exposed to insider info or have the appearance of potentially receiving an advantage by virtue of having working for a specific broadcast entity.

So in in lay-mens (sp?) term, one's chances for auditioning while interning or having interned, is a no-go...
