NEW YORK (AP) - Fox News Channel may not be Sarah Palin's only foray into television.

The former vice presidential candidate has been pitching an idea for a show about Alaska to network executives. She's teamed with Mark Burnett, one of television's busiest producers. Burnett is best known for his "Survivor" series on CBS.

Three broadcast executives, who spoke on condition of anonymity because their networks don't publicly discuss story pitches, said Thursday that Palin was meeting with officials at ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox this week. The meetings were first reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Palin started work earlier this year as an analyst at Fox News. The former Alaska governor also appeared telling jokes this week on NBC's "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.
