Set up a TV station yourself?
Qin Feng grinned.
Qin Feng really didn''t think about this before.
However, now Britney Spears said this, which touched Qin Feng''s mind.
Immediately, Qin Feng searched the Internet.
Not to mention, although the United States prohibits private purchase of television stations.
However, it is allowed to buy TV stations in the name of companies or institutions.
Therefore, Qin Feng only needs to set up a company to legally buy a TV station.
There are several options for buying TV stations.
One of them, the simplest, is to directly buy the TV stations that are being sold to the public.
This depends on the nature of TV stations. Is it local or national. Usually, local television stations are sold. Then, see whether it''s from a big city or a small city. This price is naturally different.
Of course, the difference is not too big.
After all, whether small places or large places can be sold, it means that the operation can''t go on.
Then the price will not be too high.
According to the historical transaction prices found on the Internet, the price is not high.
Basically, the cost price is mostly about one million dollars.
Qin Feng can afford the price.
Another way is to apply for the establishment of a TV station from the beginning. Then you have to do it step by step. Relatively speaking, it should be slower. The price may be cheaper.
It''s just very time-consuming.
Obviously, it is more appropriate to directly buy the TV station being sold.
After you buy it, you operate it.
Well, it costs money.
First of all, you have to rent satellite channels. It depends on whether you want to broadcast it all over the state, all over the country, or even all over the world. Different scale, different natural price.
Assuming the National Broadcasting level, the basic administrative expenses, rent expenses and so on are almost $34 million a year.
But this is only the most basic.
This basically refers to the basic TV station maintenance personnel. There are no TV hosts, reporters and so on.
In other words, if you are an empty shell and want to ensure 24-hour broadcasting to the whole country, the annual operating cost will be US $34 million.
Obviously, your TV station always has to broadcast programs. Or nothing will be played.
Although what programs are has been shown in the US, they are the ones that the TV station has the final say.
The American communication act and the first amendment to the constitution prohibit any organization from reviewing the content of radio and television programs.
This basically stipulates that you can play the program you want freely.
Unlike in China, there will be various restrictions.
Of course, it does not mean that there are no restrictions at all.
After all, you can''t really broadcast all kinds of anti human programs at will, or show racial discrimination, pornography, violence and so on. Therefore, the FCC still has control over the content broadcast by all radio and television stations. It can review the content of programs by issuing and renewing licenses. This is the mysterious document 314.
Basically, as long as you don''t broadcast programs that are obviously racist and support terrorism, basically no one will restrain you.
So, although you can play all kinds of programs at will. However, the production of programs requires cost.
This cost is hard to say.
Maybe you can make money, maybe you will lose a lot.
Of course, you can also buy some TV programs.
But it also costs.
After this, the later playback cost can not be estimated.
Television stations basically have only two sources of income.
One is from subscription membership fees.
This is based on how many subscription members you have and how much revenue you get.
Basically, every family in the United States subscribes to various programs.
The other is advertising expenses. This is also the main source of income for many TV stations.
In order to attract members, many subscription fees are not high.
If you don''t have good programs, you don''t have enough income.
This is why so many TV stations are gradually closed down for sale.
If a TV station is at the national level, in terms of investment, it may lose millions of dollars a year or tens of millions of dollars more.
Even if you invest in a masterpiece, you may lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Teacher, do it. No big deal. I''ll be your host. We''ll also get a similar interview program. I think I can always attract a little popularity. I can also bring sister Giselle. " Britney Spears urged.
In Britney Spears'' opinion, she should make tens of millions of dollars a year.
In that way, as long as it''s not too unlucky, you can always help Qin Feng fill this hole.
If it can''t be filled, it''s a big deal to buy other programs later. At that time, I''ll help Qin Feng create an ace program.
As long as you are famous and popular enough, you can always make money by acting as the host of a program.
"Teacher, let''s do it!" Britney Spears is serious.
In her eyes, no matter what Qin Feng does, she will support him.
Qin Feng gave her a golden superstar Road, which made her so successful.
One song can sell more than 26 million people. Moreover, the whole network is urging her new song. And she tried to get a new song pre-sale link.
As a result, more than 5 million people purchased new songs in advance at the price of US $0.01.
Such support makes Britney Spears full of self-confidence and gratitude to Qin Feng.
Therefore, no matter what Qin Feng does, she will support him.
"Britney, are you really not afraid of my loss?" Qin Feng''s heart surged.
"Not afraid!" Britney smiled, "I have confidence in the teacher!"
"Well, we''ll buy a TV station ourselves." Qin Feng made up his mind.
Qin Feng knows his situation.
At home, we can''t afford any money. Domestic funds are in a state of balance. If Qin Feng transfers domestic funds, it will lead to the rupture of funds.
After all, all their funds come from banks. If funds are transferred out of the country, they will be punished.
Therefore, domestic funds cannot be moved. In foreign countries, they do not have a stable industrial chain.
The only stable is the dividend from Nokia.
However, Nokia''s dividend has been divided up by the new headquarters of Facebook. This is really going to lose money. Qin Feng will have no funds to mobilize.
If not, we will really fall into the dilemma of bankruptcy abroad.
If foreign countries go bankrupt, it may also involve domestic enterprises.
In short, it seems that Qin Feng is safe now, but if something really happens, it is to pull one hair and move the whole body.
However, Qin Feng has confidence in the TV station.
Because the TV station wants to broadcast TV programs. Well, it has its own.
Great!
Ah, not to mention all kinds of popular variety shows in the future, including American dramas and British dramas, Qin Feng can''t be more familiar with them.
Want me to lose money? Does not exist.
