Are TV commercial breaks between similar channels synchronized to run at about the same time? If so, how is this done?
It depends where in the world you are watching there are rules of thumb over the frequency and duration of commercial breaks. For example in the US the early parts of the show are longer and the breaks shorter to promote audience engagement. As the show progresses the frequency of the breaks increases as does the duration because the audience has bought in to the show and will stay to the end.In Europe the same logic applies although regulators in some countries have rules on the amount of time between breaks. In the UK for example at least 20 minutes must elapse between the start of one break and the start of the next. There is no such rule however for the position of the break at the end of a programme.Given that all commercial broadcasters follow these sorts of rules then if you hop channels it could be observed that they will be on a break at more or less the same time.

Name of song please help?
There's this DStv commercial (you know, one of the so much more ones) and it says "live inspired" at th end. I would really love to have the name of the song that plays when it comes on. The ad starts with one of the scenes from Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The lyrics go something like this (I only know a few words, sorry): To ignite our souls again, we have no lights to guide us home, "we have all we ever wanted(x2)" at the end. I've tried going on the DStv forums, but nobody knows, and i've tried using shazam (music app) and several other ways. If anyone knows, please help me? I really love it. Please help. Thanks in advance.
The Classical piece on the DSTV advert. The one with "55 channels" at the end?
Does any one know the name and composer of the piece that plays on the DSTV commercial that shows Jim Carey walking on water from "Bruce Almighty" at the very end. With something like "over 55 channels, Limitless possibilities" as the punch line?
I want to start a local TV channel. What budget do I need? From where should I get permission?
Regarding the budget, one would have to consider the following items:Content acquisition costs - for procuring the content rights for the programs to be aired on the channel.Channel playout costs: Solution for generating the linear stream of the channel. Can vary from simple PC server based playout to full feature central or edge based playout servers/system.Distribution costs: The channel stream generated in step two would have to be delivered to the local affiliate operator one has signed up with. Fiber is the most commonly used method for delivery, in some case specially in Europe and USA, the channel would have to be directly uploaded to specific satellite bandwidth for direct reception at homes.Carriage costs: In some cases the channel would also have to pay the various operators for "carrying" the channel.Monthly operational costs: For running the channel you would need a at least a 2 member operation team, 3-4 member ad/content sales teams (to generate revenues) and the associated costs.The permissions required for running/launching a local channel depends on the country you based out of. For example, if one is uplinking on satellite then typically, one would have to get licenses purchased from the government. If the playout is however done locally (at affiliate site) and last mile distribution is handled by the affiliate, then possibly no permission is needed in some countries.
