Monthly TV Tapings

[Shady Tree]

Hey guys, been trying to mix up my usual way of playing by booking monthly TV tapings but best as I can tell, the only ways to do so are to do so under events, make the show 4 hours, format for 4 progressive weeks of TV and have TV broadcasters for airing as opposed to the usual ppv distribution.

 

Alternatively just make your weekly TV show 4 hours, format it as mentioned and then advance through the rest of the month (moving the in game TV day to avoid it). Both require some theatre of the mind obviously but whatever.

 

Anybody else do this or have a better way? Downside seems to be the company and workers will develop at a quarter of the speed I'd imagine. Generally always play a 1985 mod until the early 2000s or so and thought it'd be fun to book TV the way it used to be done then notice the difference when u get to 97 or so and go weekly.

 

Cheers.

I would imagine a 4 or 5 hour non-televised event with a TV contract for tour highlights. So, you would likely have to use a touring schedule.

Just keep moving that day behind you when you get to it each week. I've never tried it, but if I remember correctly, you can keep changing the day as much as you want and it never makes you book the show.</p>
