Start your own TV station?

Qin Feng grinned.

Qin Feng really hadn't thought about this before.

However, now that Britney said this, it touched Qin Feng's mind.

Immediately, Qin Feng went online to search for it.

Not to mention, although the United States prohibits private purchases of television stations.

However, it allows companies or institutions to buy TV stations.

Therefore, Qin Feng only needs to set up a company to legally buy a TV station.

And when it comes to buying a TV station, there are several options in this regard.

One of them, the simplest, is to buy directly a television station that is being sold publicly.

This kind of depends on the nature of the TV station. Is it local, or is it national? Often, it is the local television stations that are sold. Then, see if it's a big city or a small city. This price code is naturally different.

Of course, the difference is not too big.

After all, whether it is a small place or a large place, if it can be sold, it means that it cannot continue to operate.

Then, its price will not be too high.

According to the historical prices of past transactions found on the Internet, the price is not high.

Basically, the cost price is mostly around one million dollars.

At this price, Qin Feng can afford it.

And the other way is to apply for the preparation of the TV station from the beginning. Then you have to take it one step at a time. Comparatively speaking, it is a little slower. The price may be a little cheaper.

It's just very time-consuming.

Obviously, it is more appropriate to buy the TV station that is being sold directly.

And after buying, it's operation.

This, it costs money.

First of all, you have to rent a satellite channel, which depends on whether you want to broadcast it all over the state, or nationally, or even globally. Depending on the size, the price point is naturally different.

Assuming that it is a national broadcast level, then counting the basic administrative expenses, rent expenses, etc., it is almost three or four million dollars a year.

But that's just the basics.

This basically refers to the basic TV station maintenance personnel. There are no TV presenters, journalists, etc.

In other words, if you want to be an empty shell, and if you want to ensure that you can broadcast it to the whole country 24 hours a day, then the annual operating cost will be three or four million US dollars.

Obviously, your TV station has to show it. Otherwise, nothing will be played.

Although it is said that in the United States, it is up to the TV station to decide what programs are broadcast.

The U.S. Communications Act and the First Amendment prohibit any agency from censoring the content of radio and television programs.

This basically stipulates that you are free to play as many programs as you want.

Unlike in Huaxia, there will be various restrictions.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no limits.

After all, you can't really broadcast all kinds of anti-human, or obviously racist, pornographic, violent and other programs at will. So the FCC still has control over all broadcast TV content. It can review program content review through the issuance and renewal of licenses. This is the mysterious Document 314.

Basically, as long as you don't broadcast programs that are overtly racist and support terrorism, then basically no one will restrain you.

So, you can stream all kinds of shows at will, though. But to make a show, there is a cost.

It's hard to say how much it costs.

Maybe you can make money, or maybe you will lose a lot.

Of course, you can also buy some TV shows to play.

But it also costs to buy.

This is calculated, and the cost of post-playback is impossible to estimate.

And TV stations, basically, have only two sources of income.

One is from patron membership fees.

This is based on how many patrons you have, how much you earn.

Basically, every household in the United States subscribes to a variety of programs.

The other is the cost of advertising. This is also the main source of income for many TV stations.

In order to attract members, a lot of subscription fees are not high.

If you don't have a good program, then you don't have enough income.

This is also the reason why so many TV stations are gradually closing down and selling.

If a television station is at the national level, if it wants to talk about investment, it may lose a few million dollars a year, or tens of millions of dollars at most.

Even, if you invest in a masterpiece, you may lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Teacher, let's do it. It's a big deal, I'll be your host, and we'll make a similar talk show, I think, I can always attract a little popularity. I can still bring Sister Giselle here. Britney encouraged.

In Britney's opinion, she should be able to make tens of millions of dollars a year.

In that way, as long as you are not too unlucky, you can always help Qin Feng fill this hole.

If you really can't fill it, it's a big deal to buy other programs in the future. When the time comes, I will help Qin Feng create an ace show.

As long as you are famous and popular enough, then you can always make money by acting as the host of a show, just by virtue of this show.

"Teacher, let's do it!" Britney said earnestly.

In her eyes, no matter what Qin Feng does, she will support it.

Qin Feng gave her a path to a glittering superstar that made her so successful.

A single song can be sold to more than 26 million people. Moreover, the whole network is urging her new song. And, she tried to get a pre-sale link for the new song.

As a result, more than 5 million people pre-ordered the new song at a price of $0.01.

Such support made Britney full of confidence in herself and full of gratitude to Qin Feng.

Therefore, no matter what Qin Feng does, she will support it.

"Britney, are you really not afraid of my loss?" Qin Feng felt a stir in his heart.

"Don't be afraid!" Britney grinned, "I have faith in the teacher!"

"Well, we'll buy a TV station ourselves. Qin Feng made up his mind.

Qin Feng knew his situation.

Domestically, there is no money. Domestic funding is in a state of equilibrium. If Qin Feng withdraws domestic funds, it will lead to the rupture of funds.

After all, all your funds come from banks. If there is an outflow of funds, then if it is not done well, it will be left behind.

Therefore, domestic funds cannot be moved. On the foreign side, it has not stabilized the industrial chain.

The only stable thing is the dividends from Nokia.

HOWEVER, NOKIA'S DIVIDENDS HAVE NOW BEEN DIVIDED BY FACEBOOK'S NEW HEADQUARTERS. This is really going to be a loss, then Qin Feng will have no funds to mobilize.

If you don't do it, you will really fall into the predicament of bankruptcy abroad.

If it goes bankrupt abroad, then it may also implicate the country.

In short, it seems that Qin Feng is safe and stable now, but if something really happens, it will affect the whole body.

However, Qin Feng has confidence in the TV station.

Because, the TV station wants to broadcast a TV program, and I have this.

Great!

Hey, not to mention all kinds of popular variety shows in the future, including popular American dramas and British dramas in the future, Qin Feng is very familiar with it.
