I'm a senior web content producer (the chap who figures out what content should be on a website, and sometimes writes it) in London, but I'd love to be in New York (or any other major urban area in the United States).

I have co-produced a 5 song collection of songs for a friend, who is not in contract with a record label currently, but hopes to get signed.

I understand that in movies, the title of Producer is mostly about providing or arranging the financing & talent for a project. How about for a sitcom?
