JAGUAR, that's all nice and dandy, but, and this is coming form someone with a music engineering background, whatever you have done in music means jack. Seriously.

How many TV series have you mixed?
How many hours of VO have you recorded?
How much editing have you done.

Way more relevant than your music credits.

Also, you're going to have a pretty hard time competing with in-house VO rates, as that's all "soft" money.
Convincing them to pay REAL money for something they can do in house, especially with a, as you put it "notoriously Cheap" network, well, good luck. Unless you lower your rates to the "what's the point" level.

You will most likely at some point need ISDN capabilities for when the VO person is not in town. That will cost a pretty penny, pretty much negating the price you'll be charging.

So, I don't know, really, what's the point?
