Starting an Online TV Station – How to Begin?
If you are looking to start an online TV station, you have come to the right place. Many people have unanswered questions when it comes to starting an online station. Many people just have no idea where to begin or how much money to budget for such a project. In this article I will give you a few tips to help you understand the process so that you can begin.
The first thing you have to understand is what is an online TV station. It is a hyped up website with a video player and a play list.
For a online TV station to work you have to have a front end and a back end. Your front end is what the customer sees. It is the the look and feel that you want your online station to have. This is where your viewers and customers will experience your channel and the features you have programmed into it.
The back end is called “CMS” or “content management system”. This is where you manage the front end of your website. This is where you can upload and schedule your videos for playout. This is a very important part of your Internet TV website. In fact, it is so important that your online station does not function without it.
The management of your online station is done from this CMS (admin panel). Typically, it acts as a back door to your website where you log in with your username and password.
It is important that before you start a TV station online that you write down how you want the site to function and all the capabilities you want it to have. All of these things need to be discussed before your site is built.
For example, if you want to charge a subscription fee, have a video on demand page for archived videos or whatever it is you want to do, these features must be built into the admin panel. Your CMS or admin panel will give you the power to build playlists, upload archived videos, manage your written content and much more.
