I researched a lot about ownership and funding in both the TV and Film Industries. My research involved both public and private broadcasting. Public broadcasting includes radio, television and other electronic media outlets that receive some or all of their funding from the public. Public broadcasters may receive their funding from individuals through voluntary donations, a specific charge such as a television license fee, or as direct funding by the state. It may be nationally or locally operated, depending on the country and the station. In some countries, public broadcasting is run by a single organization (such the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Australia), broadcasting national and regional radio and television services. Other countries have multiple public broadcasting organizations operating regionally (such as the ARD stations in Germany which I researched a lot about them too) or in different languages. Examples of public broadcasters include the BBC in Britain, NHK in Japan, and the CBC in Canada. In the United States, public broadcasting stations are always locally licensed, but range from stations that mostly broadcast programming from national networks such as the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), to stations that broadcast content of local interest. As well, there are private broadcasting companies. These are companies that broadcast television and radio programs. To make money, private broadcasting companies sell advertisements called commercials.
Film finance is an aspect of film production that occurs before pre-production, and is concerned with determining the potential value of a proposed film. Filmmakers should be very selective regarding choices to use copyrighted works, trademarks, readily identified individual names or corporate names without express permission.
Different countries have very different approaches to censorship and to the kinds of content that seem inappropriate. In countries where alcohol is banned, the exhibition of drinking may be discouraged or banned as well. In some cultures, religious images may not be photographed. For example, images of the prophet Muhammad are banned from exhibition in some countries. And depictions of nudity are treated very differently from country to country and from medium to medium.
In the group presentation I researched about the Maltese TV Industry which infact I had already been working in it from the age of fifteen. I researched about the two public television stations , the TVM (TELEVISION MALTA) and the E22 (EDUCATION 22), the private stations that are One, Net, Smash, ITV Shopping Channel and Favourite Channel. Here are some brief points about every Maltese T V station;
Television Malta (TVM) is the national television station of Malta. TVM is operated by Public Broadcasting Services Ltd (PBS). PBS Ltd is state owned. PBS has a lot of popular programmes like the discussion programme Xarabank (presentor : Peppi Azzopardi) and the journalism based programme Bondi Plus (presentor : Lou Bondi) which are both held by the media company WE (WHERE'S EVERYBODY).
E22, (EDUCATION 22) the public educational television channel, has been established since 1996, deriving from the former Media Education and Broadcasting Centre that for over fifty years had been responsible for producing television and radio programmes in order to complement formal education in schools. An example of a programme that is being held on E22 is Sessi (presentor: Natasha Turner).
One TV (previously known as Super One Television) is a television station in Malta owned by the Labour Party. Broadcasts started in March 1994. While being owned previously by Rainbow Productions, the company changed its name into One Productions Ltd in September 1990.
On the other side, NET Television (Media Link Communications) is the television station owned by the Nationalist Party in Malta. Broadcasts commenced in 1998.
Smash Television is a neutral TV station whereby different opinions on politics are expressed.It can be described as a small-scale TV station.
Itv Shopping Channel broadcast on Melita Cable 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It can be accessed on Channel 32 for Analogue and Channel 107 for digital subscribers respectively.
This channel provides the Maltese and Gozitan televiewers with an entertaining and informative 24-hour shopping experience. In addition, Favourite Channel is “the local private television station that meets the televiewers’ demands while striving to excel in its mission of being a source of information, education and entertainment. It’s the channel that promotes creativity, innovation and top quality standards. It’s the TV station with a fresh outlook and ultra modern style in its presentation and programme content”, explained well the owners and directors of the media company Bonaci Media Entertainment, Karl and Romina Bonaci. This company was set up way back in 1988 with the aim of providing extensive media and entertainment products and services to the local public.

In Malta there are two main Tv Service Providers : Go (previously known as the 'Maltacom' Group) and the Melita (which united in 2008)
The Melita Group’s successful development is evidenced by presence of at least one of its services in 70 percent of all households in Malta and Gozo. Melita offers television, broadband, mobile and fixed telephony services. The company continues to grow and maintain its position as a leader in the growth and development of the telecommunications and media sectors in Malta. On the other hand GO operates an extensive network of quad-play retail outlets covering Malta and Gozo and has several authorised dealers selling the company’s range of services. In a 2008 research exercise conducted by international market research company, GO was rated the best local provider in terms of customer experience, value-for-money, reliability and innovation.
Local media companies such as Where's Everybody, Take 2, Hermann Bonaci Productions, V Squared Media and Entertainment, Rewind Productions, BME (Bonaci Media Entertainment), EMH, 26th Frame and more are all private companies that gets funds from television ads and commercials. A still going on Take 2 product is Deceduti on TVM after their great success of Evangelisti on One TV, Vsquared : Kwazi Ahwa on One Tv, Rewind Productions : Emilja on One Tv, 26th frame : F'Salib it-Toroq on TVM, Hermann Bonaci Productions : Simpatici on Net Tv. These are all drama and tele-serials that are going on right now in media from these private companies.
I researched as well some advertisement rate cards which I did in the powerpoint presentation. Basically, this is a brief of my research. Because the report was coming way too long I described only briefly what my role was.
