Sarah Palin’s Really Expensive Guided Tour Of Alaska Coming Soon To TV?

It looks like Sarah Palin’s reality television show about Alaska is one step closer to becoming, well, a reality. The reality show in question, by the way, is not, as was first rumored, a show about the Palin family (though I still contend there’s a certain genius to that idea). Instead, as has been noted before, it will be a show about Alaska hosted by Sarah Palin. Apparently, she’s looked for some big bucks…to the tune of $1.2 million per episode.

From THR:

Sources say Discovery Communications has edged out rival A&E Networks in the bidding for the project, titled “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” An agreement could be announced in the next few days…The former governor’s asking price was $1.2 million per episode. A network paying anywhere close to that figure would make “Alaska” one of the most expensive nature series ever produced. The high-definition program will be shot in a style similar to “Life” and “Planet Earth” and will feature Palin acting as a guide to the Alaskan outdoors.
