If you have to ask, you almost certainly can't afford it.

I would contact a broadcasting consultant to start with. Asking on a public forum about how to set up a TV channel on sky is not the best place to ask.

Have you looked into first of all the carriage costs of the EPG, then the licence to broadcast, followed by the cost of rights, then also the cost of broadcast management from someone like RedBee?

If you have a spare couple of million you may just be able to do it.

You would need millions to start a TV channel.

But you could read this http://www.etv.tv/content/pdf/launching_channel.pdf

From the film studios, you know, the people that own the movie content? But the Big 6 Hollywood studios are all tied into long-term exclusive deals with Sky for first-run subscription rights, so you'd be left with the more obscure stuff to chase.

I cant quite believe what im reading.

I suggest going to MIPCOM, ive never been so I dont know how you would go about doing that, I thint it mostly sells TV programs, you might also wish to go to the Upfronts in the states, but again ive never been, so I dont know how you would go about doing that.

To be honest I would to go to those events, but it is way way beyond anything ill ever have the chance to do in life.

OMG!

This reminds me of a new shop that opened (and soon closed) locally recently, sold wood-burning stoves and nothing else.

When I say they sold wood-burning stoves I mean they had them in the window, very much doubt they actually sold any.

Some people should just never go into business.

I suppose this is a wind-up thread...

Hey there!
