Television
Television, sometimes shortened to TV, is a telecommunication medium for transmitting moving images and sound. The term can refer to a television set, or the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports. Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s, but only after several years of further development was the new technology marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion.Diggs-Brown, Barbara (2011''Strategic Public Relations: Audience Focused Practice''p. 48 In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was introduced in the U.S. and most other developed countries.

Movie Packaging
In film industry terminology, ''movie packaging'' or ''film packaging'' is a type of product bundling in which a top level talent agency starts up a film or television project using writers, directors and/or actors it represents, before giving other agencies a chance to submit their clients for the project. For this service the talent agency negotiates a packaging fee. Instead of collecting the usual 10% fee from individual clients, the agency receives the equivalent of 5% of what the studio or network pays the production company; 5% of half (''i.e.'' 2.5%) of any profit the production company earns; and 15% of adjusted gross (syndication revenue minus costs the network does not pay). Packaging incentive Packaging can be much more lucrative for agencies than the usual 10% fee; in 1989 ''The New York Times'' reported that a major talent agency could earn $21,000 to $100,000 for each episode of a network show. Packaging is frequently done by the “big four” talent agencies Creat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
