Ever wondered how you could start your own Satellite TV station and compete with other well known channels? Well as the old saying goes "where this is a will there is a way". Most people just do not know how to start or where to start. They often have a great idea but have no idea where to turn to get started.

Most often such people have questions such as "How much will it cost to start my satellite TV channel, what equipment do I need, and how do I get my new channel onto a satellite?" These questions are all viable and need to be answered before you can begin. However the answers my vary from one project to another.

Many factors come into play when trying to answer these questions. For example: Will you need the ability to broadcast live? What city and country do you want to broadcast from? What country or countries do you want to broadcast too? Determining the location you are broadcasting from and too will also determine if any licensing is needed (Surprisingly many countries do not require licenses for satellite broadcasts).

If you have decided you will need a live broadcast then you will have to ...
... choose what method you will use to deliver your live feed to an uplink company. There are many methods some more expensive than others, however this is where your broadcast location will begin to play a role in you planning stage. If you are broadcasting in an area far from a solid infrastructure then a Satellite uplink may be the only alternative. If in a city other methods are available such as fiber, and the use of Smart cloud technology.

Other necessary things you will need to consider is what type of production studio do you need? Do you plan to produce your video content? If you plan to produce your content then you will need to choose a studio design that is capable of handling your vision. Or many you plan to do some production and combined that will obtaining the rights to existing content (sometimes this is much cheaper). This way you can curve your production costs.

With any major project that you embark on it is always wise to seek professional advice. Thankfully there are professionals that can help you.

Remember planning is crucial. You need to plan what satellite you want to broadcast on. For example you do not want to broadcast on a satellite in which no one is watching. There are cheap satellites that you can broadcast on but there is no one tuned in. So would be the point of that? You would just end up spending much more money marketing your channel and trying to make people aware of its existence. That’s why its best to do it right from the start and choose a popular satellite in which you can begin to maximize your exposure instantly.
