Tv is the biggest form of entertainment and this short article will look at three of the biggest channels from around the world.
One of the big TV networks in the USA reaches 97% of households in the country, which is an astounding level. The American tv network was formed in 1943 but was initially a radio channel; it took the natural and profitable shift into television five years later. The firm is now led by Ben Sherwood and it has shown a number of the most popular shows worldwide in recent times. As with almost all TV networks, the business makes most of its income from advertising. The USA has by far the largest spending on advertising in the world, over twice the next largest spender, so it is no surprise that the network in question is worth such a tremendous amount. One of the justifications that the US has such a significant spend on marketing and advertising, other than it being such a inhabited place, is that they have a larger frequency of advertisements on their stations and online video material. Without such repeated advertising, the TV channels would not be able to put on such significant and very expensive TV shows.
In the UK, there are so many state-owned television and mass media channels that supply news and entertainment. Just about the most is chaired by Charles Gurassa and is known for its forward thinking and somewhat experimental TV listings. The company became an independent statutory corporation in 1993, and since then it has become a major television network. The channel was viewed as reasonably controversial in its first years for airing shows that occasionally split opinion, nevertheless this was welcomed as refreshing and innovative TV soon after. Now the channel is famed for its documentaries and self-produced comedies and dramas. The network today has different cable channels, such as one that is solely committed to music. About the most prominent channels they provide is a film channel that plays and produces its own indie and experimental films. There were pushes for the channel to become privatised, however these were refused in 2014.
One of the most popular French multimedia channels has numerous channels varying from sports to news and entertainment. This large tv network is about the most popular in France and controls one of the most renowned sports networks in the country. Evidently such a large tv channel in such a populous country, means excellent profits for shareholders and investors, such as Vincent Bolloré. The TV channel is also a pay-tv network, so it generates revenue from subscriptions as well as marketing and advertising. The firm has about 8 million members which is over 10% of the nation. Having such a strong foot in the sector means it is the most attractive to advertisers; having both subscribers and big spending advertisers, it makes the network an eye-catching investment option.
