Capitalizing on a trend of not only reality TV, but also a practice becoming more common where advertisers offer to produce a program that is as much brand advertising as entertainment content and assume most of the production costs.

/The Fairway Gourmet/, which runs on PBS, will in its second season be produced by the Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau, and all the golf courses in next season's series of program will be in Hawaii.
