Your idea for a TV show highlighting Business Travel is a smashing idea..but I think networks won't cover it as it is not "sexy" or "glam" enough. Most people dread biz travel, but I agree any outlet that makes it easier is more than welcome!
I bet you are chock a block full of useful info.

My thought process comes from the existing reality shows. They are edited to concentrate on the highs and lows of the subject matter. Business travelers certainly experience enough highs and lows on any given trip to fill 22 mins (of a half hour show) or 44 mins (an an hour show). Flight delays and cancelations, rental car breakdowns, hotel room problems, etc. all make for what they are looking for. Add plenty of human interest stuff (calling home at night to talk to the wife/kids, dealing with clients, bosses, etc) throw in the craziness of some of these giant conventions and you've got a hit show.
Or maybe a great situation comedy.....?
