English term or phrase: We consider this series as our 2011 – 2012 tent pole series
Hello, could you please help me out with the term "tent pole". It comes from a synopsis for a TV program.

I found an explanation of the term to be
"tent pole n. something, such as a commercial undertaking, a story franchise, or a fictional character, that serves as primary support (for a company, television program, etc.), especially a blockbuster movie which compensates for a studio’s flops."

Could I translate it into...
Nous considérons cette série comme notre produit phare pour la programmation 2011-2012.

I'm having some difficulties there!
Thanks beforehand
