This article is about "Model Entrepreneur" Heidi Klum. Here is a quote:
"("Runway") has really caught on with people," says Klum. "That's helped me as a personality, so I'm very happy about that."
The series have generated attractive numbers. Last season's Bravo "Runway" finale averaged a 4.6 rating with 5.4 million viewers tuning in -- the net's highest rated telecast ever.

Here is one more from Randall. Ever wonder what is costs to produce an episode of Project Runway? Here is a suggestion:
But Bravo’s costs are well under that, in the estimate of Rod Buston, associate professor of mass communications at the University of Denver. By using non-union production crews, digital-video production technology and lots of product placements to subsidize creation of a show, he estimates that it costs Bravo only $30,000 to $40,000 to shoot and edit each hour-long reality program. Spread over multiple airings, he said, that comes down to $5,000 or $10,000 each.
In contrast, NBC spends like this:
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which hasn’t generated West Wing-like ratings, costs upwards of $2.5 million an episode.
Please read the entire article. It's fascinating.
