How do business renovation reality programs (Bar Rescue, Kitchen Nightmares, etc.) recoup expenses?

910 views

I’m watching Goron Ramsey’s show *To Hell and Back,* where he renovates failing restaurants. I just read that Ramsay makes approximately $250k per episode, and I’d assume they’re putting at least $50k into each renovation, some probably more. How much money do these types of shows make on a per-episode basis that they can even recoup the cost of such massive production costs? I assume it’s all from ads?

The average drama show cost like 4-5 million per episode. This is actually really, really cheap. It’s a fraction of the cost, so it’s actually far easier to make money.
