Chapter 963: Qiao Feng's Ambition
October 8th, Cold Dew, Monday.
Takudotai officially opened in the evening prime time.
In order to catch the audience's attention for the first time and let the audience remember this newly opened TV station, the opening time directly chose the evening prime time, and the first program was the well-made opening dramatist Youxian Wife.
Taiwan has added a new TV station in addition to the three wireless TV stations, which has been reported by major media outlets as early as a month ago.
Even the three competing wireless TV stations China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television have reported on it.
And as the opening day approached, there were more such reports.
And a week before the opening of the station, the report about the new TV station was overwhelmingly presented in the eyes of all Taiwanese people.
As a result, all Taiwanese people know that this new TV station called Baodao TV is going to open on October 8.
It's just that not all Taiwanese people can watch the programs of this new TV station.
Because Baodao TV is a satellite TV station, it is the first satellite TV station in Taiwan.
Satellite TV and wireless TV are two very different ways of transmitting TV signals.
Radio TV programs can be watched as long as there is a TV and the TV has an antenna.
However, satellite TV is a form of radio and television that uses geosynchronous satellites to transmit digitally coded and compressed TV signals to the user end, and it must have a special signal receiving and decoding device to watch.
To put it simply, there are two ways to watch satellite TV programs, one is to transmit the digital TV signal to the front end of the cable TV, and then convert the cable TV station into analog TV and transmit it to the user's home.
The other is to install an antenna at home that is specially designed to receive satellite TV signals, which is commonly known as the pot lid.
Either way comes at an additional installation cost.
Although Taiwan is one of the four Asian tigers, the economy is developed, and people's incomes are relatively good, and the number of households that can install cable TV and satellite TV receiving antennas is obviously much smaller than those who do not.
Naturally, the audience of satellite TV is much smaller than that of free over-the-air TV programs.
Among them, there are more satellite TV receiving antennas installed, because compared with wireless TV with poor signal in many places, the satellite TV receiving antenna has a much stronger ability to receive signals.
Another is because of the installation of satellite TV receiving antennas, the programs that can be watched will also be hidden.
Qiao Feng remembers that when he was a child, some people installed satellite TV receiving antennas, and at some times, such as late at night, they could even watch foreign adult programs.
The same is true on the Taiwan side.
Many people install satellite TV receiving antennas at home, not because the signal of receiving wireless TV programs at home is not good, but because they can watch other TV programs except for the three wireless TV programs in Taiwan.
Like some indescribable adult shows, that's just something that some special adults want to watch.
More people want to watch Hong Kong TV programs, Macau TV programs, and even other countries in Southeast Asia, like Yuben, Singapore, and their TV programs.
These people don't care whether the TV signal they receive is good or not, the picture is clear or not, as long as they can receive and see good-looking programs from other places.
Qiao Feng also had this kind of mood when he was a child.
At that time, it was not a satellite TV receiving antenna installed, but just a general receiving antenna, because it was next to someone else's CCTV line, so it could receive some TV programs with strong signals.
At that time, if you don't install a closed circuit and a satellite TV receiving antenna, your home can only receive TV programs from the province and a set of TV programs from the central government.
So, I'm desperate to see TV shows other than these two.
Especially the movies on the Movie Channel.
So many people have set up a much cheaper general antenna to lean on other people's CCTV lines to rub the signal.
Then I looked at the TV, which was full of snowflakes and couldn't see clearly when I was close, and I was eating with relish with a bowl.
This situation is definitely there in Taiwan, and there are no less.
However, relatively speaking, Taiwan can install, and is willing to install cable TV, and the proportion of families that install satellite TV receiving antennas is greater than that of the mainland when Qiao Feng was a child.
Of course, this is still much less than watching only three TVB programs.
However, who let the TVB license authorities not issue it, Qiao Feng will definitely not be able to get it.
He can only target the satellite TV audience.
Then on this basis, efforts were made to expand the number of households that installed cable and satellite TV receiving antennas.
This is also a purpose for Qiao Feng to lobby the authorities to issue a satellite TV license to himself with Comcast.
That is to give Comcast a channel to enter the Taiwanese cable and satellite TV market.
Comcast is now the most popular cable operator in the United States.
If Comcast wants to grow and grow, in addition to working hard to develop in the United States, it is also essential to open up external markets.
In addition to this reason, another reason is because the Taiwanese TV market is very wary of external forces.
Like Qiao Feng, whose stance is inclined to the mainland, the authorities are even more vigilant.
This is also the reason why Qiao Feng asked Comcast to take the lead in lobbying the authorities to issue a license to himself, and then he had to pull in Wireless and Qiu Fusheng in Taiwan to jointly establish Baodaotai.
There's no way, Qiao Feng alone can't take it down, and he can't even have money.
For the same reason, Taiwan's cable TV market is relatively easy for European and American companies like Comcast to intervene in, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the authorities.
Even if the authorities knew that Comcast was acquired by Qiao Feng, but, in addition to this, Comcast was properly an American company.
As long as this is confirmed, the authorities will not set thresholds and obstacles for Comcast to enter Taiwan's cable TV market.
Qiao Feng is very ambitious for the Taiwan market, because of the convenience of Comcast, Qiao Feng has great ambitions.
Not only does he want Comcast to get a piece of the Taiwanese cable and satellite TV market.
I also want to enter the fields of fixed network telecommunications, data communication and mobile communications to grab a big piece of the cake.
Therefore, Qiao Feng asked Comcast to seize Taiwan's cable and satellite TV market, while also lobbying the authorities to privatize Chunghwa Telecom.
Chunghwa Telecom provides a variety of services such as communications, Internet, television, etc., and is the largest telecommunications company in Taiwan.
Prior to this, Taiwan's telecommunications industry was owned by the state.
In the past two years, with the lifting of the ban on culture and public opinion, the voice of the society calling for the liberalization and privatization of telecommunications has become louder and louder.
Qiao Feng pushed the boat down the river, let Constar hide behind the scenes, actively connect in series, and promote the privatization reform of Chunghwa Telecom.
The sooner Chunghwa Telecom converts from a state-owned to a private-owned one, the sooner Comcast will be able to absorb the shares held by the government.
At that time, Comcast, which holds a large stake in Chunghwa Telecom, can do a lot of things, and its influence on public opinion will be greater than that of Baodao TV, and it will be much greater.
However, Qiao Feng's plans for Comcast are still secretly carried out, and it is difficult to promote the privatization of Chunghwa Telecom in a year or two, that is, Comcast will not be able to achieve its goal in a moment or a half to enter the Taiwan cable TV market to compete for the market.
At present, the most important thing is that Baodao TV can successfully attract audiences and gain a firm foothold in Taiwan's TV industry in the form of satellite TV.
Fortunately, Qiao Feng is very sure of this, who let the first show on the stage be the original time and space that swept both sides of the strait, and even the dramatists in Southeast Asia have fairy wives.
