The document discusses an announcement that a record number of eight new TV shows will begin filming in New York this year, providing over 4,700 new jobs. This is due to an extension of the state's 30% tax credit for TV and film production. Some of the shows filming in New York include Smash, Rookies, Pan Am, and I Just Want My Pants Back. Officials credit the tax credit program with helping New York regain work from productions that had previously filmed in other states with incentives.
