I also meant to add that the three shows Brasselle sold to Aubrey (including The Reporter) with no pilots whatsoever, led to conflict-of-interest charges, shareholder lawsuits, and an FCC investigation - and culminated, in February 1965, in Aubrey's ouster as CBS Television Network president.
"The Reporter" was one of three series Keefe Brasselle pitched to CBS Television president James Aubrey with absolutely no pilots filmed. (The others were "The Cara Williams Show" and "The Baileys Of Balboa," the latter created out of Aubrey's dislike of another show being readied for premiere in the 1964-65 season - "Gilligan's Island.") This show was also the first of the three that were cancelled, due to the expense of its production; the other two continued for the rest of the season.
