By Walt Hickey Vanderpump Bravo has remained an island of stability in a drastically evolving cable television climate. During the 2018-19 season, ad revenue at Bravo was up 2.3 percent while ad revenue at the overall linear television market was down 4 percent. This is the house that Vanderpump built: a show about six people who work at a restaurant in West Hollywood has spiraled into a sprawling reality program about people who sometimes appear in that restaurant, but mostly hang out elsewhere and do other stuff. It has a weekly audience of 2.3 million people. Business is excellent: while the core cast was paid $10,000 for the entire first season, they now make $25,000 per episode since a new contract. The real money is obviously in plugging a restaurant empire to 2.3 million people a week.
