Start a Media Company
Interested in radio, news publishing or television company start-ups? Our guide has basic information on putting up these mass media companies. It also has resources to help you get through the process. To start a radio company, we’ll introduce you to a site that offers advices on licensing and equipment needs. We also have a link to an authority on TV station constructions.
Mass media is a general term referring to the medium, channel or instrument that enables the distribution of information and entertainment to a large audience.
A media company could be one that publishes news or broadcasts programs through radio or television. Most media companies are owned by private individuals or group of investors. There are also those that are owned by the government.
Starting a Radio Company
To start a radio station, you need a space to hold your equipment for radio broadcasting. You can construct a building or rent a room. You would have to buy equipment, get licenses, and arrange about royalties. You also need to decide your show format whether it would be country, oldies rock, pop, or talk show. You would also need to hire a host or DJ to man the station. To support your station programs, you must seek sponsors and advertisers. For assistance on setting up a radio station, visit . The company’s services include advice on licensing, equipment, and legal requirements as well as mentoring. These, for a service fee of $265.
Starting a News Publishing Company
One doesn’t have to have a journalism degree to start a news publishing business. However, news publication is more than a business. Its success depends on a large part on the passion, motivation, creativity and hard work of a team of news writers, layout artists, and editors that compose its manpower. The team is responsible for generating output that can attract wide readership and, thus, advertisers. The continued existence of a newspaper depends on income gained from advertisements.
Thus, to start a news publishing company, it is important for an owner to have some background in the field. To start a major business, he must prepare to invest in printing machines, computers to do the layout, cameras for taking pictures and vehicles for delivering the papers.
Starting a Television Company
A TV station is made up of technical, infrastructure and manpower components that make possible the transmission of images through frequency bands. Starting one requires land, buildings, transmission equipment, production control and studio equipment (cameras, lights, audio consoles, sound control equipment, microphones, and audio recorders). It would also require the employment of show directors, actors and talents, cameramen, floor managers, video editors, communications engineers, video production personnel. To see estimates of television station construction costs, visit the Web site of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration
One can also start a TV production company by developing and pitching programs to TV stations. You’d need the same audio and video recording equipment, and video editing equipment and software. But you may not have to spend as much for a studio as a television station would.
