Asaemon's Broadcaster Database

[Guest Asaemon]

The upcoming version 1.05 will have fixed broadcasters coverage for a lot of networks.

 

There will also be a lot of new stuff added around the world, but with the main focus on North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. I wouldn't be surprised if the update includes over 600 broadcasters.

Any downside of replacing every mods Broadcasters with this mod instead?

Depending on which year the mod starts, some manual work is required for the "broadcasting changes" that are already supposed to have triggered. The mod have currently broadcaster changes from 1971 to 2019.

 

But it's worth it since every broadcaster is real, so no imported fantasy broadcasters from C-Verse that some "Real World Mods" have to make up the numbers.

You’d have to redo all the broadcasters deals

Yeah that's true and also manually set the owners for the promotion owned networks. Since the database only includes broadcasters and not any promotions.

You can forget about 600, as I've already passed that number.

 

This is the current status and just like earlier the focus is on networks that historically has aired wrestling, sports networks and general entertainment networks. The number of PPV providers are currently 125.

Networks and media groups will go out of business (hard close)

 

Networks will change logos and names when they rebrand

 

TV networks can change their programming format, through rebranding (broacaster changes) to change their specific target demographic. Relaunching as broadly-distributed family television networks or transitioning into a specific niche like extreme sports, young adult, or action-oriented programming.

 

Pay television networks have been divided in pay tv (commercial) and premium pay tv (subscription).

 

 

 

Some of the early subscription television services now have both a subscription feature and a ppv feature.

 

So now you can join George Lucas and Star Wars by negotiating a special pay-per-view deal with networks like ONTV and Z Channel or choose to go the other direction by approaching one of the big PPV providers that is known for airing boxing and major sport events.

 

 

 

In some areas like Europe you have to choose your strategy when negotiating a deal.

 

Will you go for a deal with a Pan-European network like Eurosport that has coverage all across Europe or will you negotiate bigger deals with the region specific networks despite that you might not get coverage all across Europe. Keep in mind that some tv networks will expand their coverage into new regions.
