TDious Experiences volume II: The Remote Broadcast Production Technical Director [Mobile Unit Setup Part 2c: Keyer Assignments & Keyer Priority] The default Keyer Priority on every popular switcher is Keyer 1 on top of 2 which is on top of 3 and so on. Remember to set your Keyer priorities as well as your transition rates for them before you begin storing EMEMS. My Effect 000 on all of my M/Es has a Source Hold (so that recalling this effect won’t take me to another source) but it does clear all of that M/Es keyers, sets them to their base assignments and appropriately layers the stack based on my needs for that show. For example, my PGM level Keyers may have Keyer 1 (Image Store 1 for Network branding) at the highest priority, followed by Keyer 2 (SpotBox A for Transitions) but then Keyer 6 may be THIRD in the stack for the Telestrator. The reason is because I generally assign a GPI to clear the Tele on my Replay Out move. Having the Tele UNDER the SpotBox transition allows that clear to happen seamlessly … unless, of course, I have a certain analyst we have lovingly nicknamed “Picasso” for his ability to paint the most amazing abstract art using this 1970s technology and who may just keep on drawing long after my GPI has cleared the screen. OK! I think that’s quite a lot to absorb for now. If there are questions or topics YOU would like to see covered here, shoot me a line. I wouldn’t have had the good fortune to be working the shows I work today without the kindness of so many early in my career and I’m here to pay it backwards AND forwards for anyone interested! Until next time Happy Switching!

MUSIC DISTRIBUTION VS. MUSIC PROMOTION Today, I would be sharing the difference between Music Distribution and Music Promotion. These two words may seem the same but they are not, and being aware of the differences will you help effectively promote your songs and have profit. Music Distribution is the process of getting music from the artist/ producer to the store, i.e making it available for the people to stream on any platform of their choice. While Music Promotion is that crucial step that follows the production of your music and its distribution on streaming platforms. Please read carefully! While Music Distribution requires you to make your songs available to the public it doesn't guarantee that your songs will go viral. Let me give an example, you just made a product let's say a soap and you currently live in Port Harcourt, how do other states get your soap? You would have to send them to other states so that they too can buy and use. That process of dispatching to other states is called music distribution. Follow me! Now all the 36 states have your soap but not all the people in the various states know about your soap. The process of making them know about your soap is called Promotion. Promotion is very intentional, it requires you using various promotional platforms to push and advertise your song. The word is advertisement. Haven't you wondered why only your Facebook friends know about your song? that's if they even know 🚶 It is because you just dumped the link and expected the song to start paying you or to be heard all over the world. There are many promotional platforms but I will only lay emphasis on Facebook ads. Every Big Music Minister you see today, take out time and spend money for promotion. Have you noticed Min. Moses Bliss ? Most of his songs have all been promoted on either Facebook or Instagram ads, especially the "Miracle no dey tire Jesus", where he used a video. He intentionally placed them there and ran ads back to back, go and check and come and tell me. Promote your music dear Artiste. Kindly, join my telegram channel in the comment section for more teachings.

The future of free-to-view television broadcasting is facing a conundrum. The traditional model, which once seemed like a win-win for all parties involved, is now showing signs of strain. But what's causing this strain? The complex chain of relationships between advertisers, broadcasters, content owners, and audiences. It's like sharing a pizza with friends, but the person who paid for it only gets one out of the ten slices. This analogy reflects the current state of affairs in the broadcasting industry. Check out this article to learn more about the broadcasting industry's conundrum: https://lnkd.in/eaZCSDWb #broadcasting #televisionindustry #advertising #contentowners #audiences

“The headline stat: 2.29 trillion. That’s how many on-demand audio streams there were globally in the first six months of 2024, up 15.1% from the same period last year. The report zeroes in on North America for other stats, reporting that US on-demand audio streams were up 8% in the first half of this year to 665.8bn. So, the US accounted for just over 29% of global streams, but that share is falling slightly – down from just under 31% a year ago.“ https://lnkd.in/gTSqm_iJ

No price hike during elections: Not really a big loss for broadcasters? Halting the price hike of TV channels may not hit broadcasters as much as losing out on the viewership could, considering big ad dollars will be spent during elections, say experts.

🤣🤣 Heads up..production music libraries usually don’t charge you up front to submit to be apart of their catalog or sync licensing briefs. They typically do a 50/50 deal on sync fees and backend royalties. If you ARE being charged a fee you are probably paying for some type of third party service OR getting scammed. 😩 If you want to learn how to find legit companies that DON’T charge submission fees.
