    Build a portfolio and start pitching. The mixed martial arts sport already has a presence on many networks. I would start with the folks who have yet to jump on board. The selling will be harder, but the rewards could be better.

    You could also start by getting sponsors for your upcoming event. This would help the local station see that there's advertising money available and viewership.
