i need some help i have a college assignment that was sapost to be in about 2 weeks ago... anyway.. ive no idea how to do it...
the teacher wants us to set up a tv station and basacilly say how it would be stuctured ( staff wise) and tv programes..
he has told us nothing about it ( mainly tells us about pubs hes been in) and told us no books to go to..
ive gone to all the tv channel websites looked up the about us things but no real info...

To look good in Ireland you wouldn't have to do very much... Just look at RTE One Mornings/daytime, TV3 daytime and TG4 all the time. Ahd do you know anyone who's ever watched Ch6?

DO your own work to be fair, what are they looking for? Technical set ups or what? What kind of course are you doing? I work in a TV Station, but there's so many different areas it's hardly fair to ask how a station is run.

Channel 6 is the only decent Irish channel. (All mindless, all the time) Apart from TV3 and thats just cos it has Corrie...

I own 3 TV stations on the SKY Digital platform. PM me your basic questions and I'll fire you back some info, but don't expect me to go too detailed - I don't plan on writing the whole thing for you - I'll just point you in the right direction.

Monkeyfudge is a user who is involved in Dublin community tv.

Oh and do a better spell check when you are submitting your project.

From what you guess? I know college assignments, it should give you some more details than just the vague nonsense you posted. The scope of your project is so vast, as per your description, it seems unfesibly large. I mean are you talking about the overall budget of a community tv station or the nuts and bolts day to day running?

Diogenes: thats the whole two pages he gave us... sorry i must sound like a fool to you.. but really thats what he was given me.. im asking for some help.. the teacher never gave me any info of where to find the info.. and about the spelling sorry but im just no good at it so sue me...

Geek Nose has sent me loads of stuff that should get me done..

Canned laughter, Quiz show scam and other shows that have been played to death already by Sky, TV3, Paramount and even RTE? Yup, I guess it is the greatest channel ever...

And we could live without TV3 - Corrie is on UTV

A far smaller percentage of the population has terrestrial UTV than TV3.
