INTRODUCTION
A major task of management is to recognize up diagnose problems. No problem
exist until someone deserts that it does all though the particular situation may have
existed for sometime unrecognized. Problem discovery is the first stage of any decision
process and is the main objectives of monitoring research.
There is a problem when a decision maker faces uncertainty, which may concern
either difficulties or opportunities.
Difficulties are situation or developments that have negative or counterproductive
consequences opportunities, on the other hand, are situation with positive potentials that,
if recognized and capitalized on, are profitable to the enterprise. Competitors may have
recognized and moved them on earlier, and their preemption of opportulty. Opportunities
are more difficult to identify and challenge to solve, but they may lead to profitable
innovations.

1. Objectives of prelinary research;
After discovering the problem, it needs to be defied and this should be a statement in the
terms used by the decision maker.
A. The objective of preliminary research is to gather data on the situation
surroundings the supposed problem to determine:
B. A correct definition of the problem
C. An understanding of its environment
D. Whether the initial feedback data, which triggered problem recognition
accurately, pictured the situation.
Preliminary research has no standard techniques.
2. Exploratory research:
The next question is whether there is sufficient need to conduct an exploratory
study such a study`s main purpose would be to determine the approximate area
where the problem rise and also to identify since attractive courses of action to
solve it. It may incidentally also enable a sharper definition of the problem to be
made.
If an exploratory study of alternatives were conducted, it would begin
with identifying a number of hypotheses that are already known in the firm.
Discussion with managers in the company would probably bring out a number of
hypotheses without having to leave the office.

INTRODUCTION OF CAPITAL MARKET
The capital market is a market for financial investments that are direct or indirect aims to
capital. It is wider than the securities markets and embarrasses all the forms of lending
and borrowings, whether or not evidenced by the creation of a negotiable financial
instrument. The capital market compromises the complex of intuitions and mechanism
through which intermediate terms funds and long term funds are pooled and made
available to business’ government and individuals. The capital market also encompasses
the process by which securities already outstanding are transferred.
The capital market and the particular stock exchange are referred to as the barometer of
the economy. Government policy is so molded that creation of wealth through products
and services is facilitated and surpluses and profits are chanalised into productive uses
through capital market operations. Reasonable opportunity and protection are afforded by
the government through special measures in capital market to get new investment from
public and the intuitions and to ensure their liquidity.
The division of capital market is shown in the graph below

Emerging international capital market
With the advent of Multinational Corporation during the period from 1970, the financial
products and services offered world wide in the international market platform become
more and more innovative and sophisticated.
Commercial activity expanded both in the domestic markets and aboard with matching
support from various operating factors. The compulsion for individual economies to
integrate in the global economy has pronounced. Gradually the domestic financial market
assumed the global outlook both in their orientation and operations.
Two major dimensions are noticeable in the world financial market.
1. There was expansion of commercial banking: to collect deposits, grant loans and
carry out a variety of banking markets around the world and development in
electronic processing and communication technology enabling foreign operations
on a faster scale.
2. Develop of global financial market place for securities: the domestic securities markets
rapidly become interconnected through electronic communication network, automated
trading systems, cross listing of security on major international exchanges and the use of
after listing of security on major international exchanges and the use of after hours
trading sessions as well as 24 hours trading system. Such technology bresk through
coupled with substantial financial deregulations world wide has contributed to achieving
significant integration of major markets in securities duration recent years.
The integration of world financial and capital market afforded grate benefits to both
demanders and suppliers of funds offering more extension investments alternatives and
grater opportunities to diversify risk. Borrowers get larger access to a verity of market for
funds. This allows migration of funds towards their most efficient users providing
incentives to save and invest and service to enhance world productivity.
The international diversifications have offered many potential benefits to the investors.
Foreign brokerage forms have sight membership in major domestic stock exchanges. In

UK during 1996, the following delegations of London financial markets, many US
security firms applied for seats in London stock exchanges, enhancing access to UK
equity markets by us financial market.
The globalization of financial added depth and liquidity through broader and larger
number of market participants. A liquid market is one where the size of an order creates
minimum effect on the transaction price. Depth refers to the number of participants in the
market ready to transact at a given price to ensure sufficient liquidity. Sufficient depth is
also must so that when an order arrives to buy security, there will adequate orders to sell
also. In this scenario, the market price will not move drastically. To a large extent, access
to foreign markets has been facilitated by far reaching developments in the areas of
communication, technology and by hours of trading in new York stock exchanges.
Philadelphia exchange and NASDAQ exchange etc. a major motive for extending the
trading into night was to facilitate synchronized transactions during the trading hours in
other parts of world. Automatic trading system in many parts of world facilitates faster
trading and the economies of electronic trading.
Computerized market trading started in 1970, with the NASDAQ system. In earlier 80s
the national association of security dealers, USA developed a national market system
providing investors with the transaction data as they accrued. By 1991 by private
offerings resale’s and trading through automated linkages system was developed to
enable users to trade in even unregistered securities world wide. NASADAQ also
established automated trading system linking stock exchange in London and Singapore.
Thus NASDAQ has the facility to provide cross listing of foreign securities and automate
trading execution enhancing its position as major market for domestic and foreign
securities. During the 80s the volume of international transactions in corporate securities
across US border registered a quantum jump. Basically France, Japan UK, Canada and
Germany were the five foreign countries which are actively engaged in buying and
selling in US securities. The US also correspondently enlarged transactions in these
countries.

regulations to permit grater investment abroad coupled with the persisting US deficit

During the decade 80-90 international bond market become very active. This included
foreign bond market and euro bond and euro commercial market paper. Along side the
bond market, the equity market was dominated by United States. Japan and UK holding
the three fourth of the capitalized value of the world equity market. After the gradual
integration of the world equity markets accounted for more than half of equities listed in
world stock exchanges.

Indian capital market
As show in the above diagram Indian capital market is divided into 2 main parts,
1. Primary market
2. Secondary market
Primary market:- the capital market is the market for long term funds. Capital markets
discharge important functions of saving, especially of the household sector to companies,
public and government sector bodies. Individuals or households with surplus money
invest their money in exchange for shares, debenture and securities of such companies
and government. The market for such long term finance is known as primary market. In
the primary market new issue of equity and debt are arranged in the form of new
floatation, either publicly or privately or in the form of rights offer to exist share holders.
Companies raise new cash in exchange of financial claims. The financial claims may take
the form of share or debentures. Public sector undertakings also issue securities. The
tractions in primary market result in capital formation.
The primary market consist of new issue market in which new securities are sold by
public limited companies through public issue of debt or equity and financing through
venture capitalist. The venture capital firm provides substantial amounts of capital mostly
through equity purchases and occasionally through debt offerings to help growth oriented
firms to develop and success.

Primary market intermediates
Primary market intermediaries are a very vital link between the regulators and the
investors. Any aberrations in primary market has presumably direct bearing on the
intermediaries, their governance process and practices which in turn affect the confidence
of the market. It is therefore necessary to ensure good governance practice of the
intermediaries and also to have constant monitoring on the surveillance on the acts, 1992
was framed to provide for the establishment of a board to protect the interest of investors
in security and to promote the development of and regulate the primary market and for
matter connected therewith and incidentals thereto.
As per section 11 of SEBI act, it is the duty of SEBI to register and regulate the working
of broker, sub broker, share transfer agent, bankers to issue, trustee of trust deeds,
registrar to an issue, merchants bankers, under writers portfolio managers, investment
advisers and such other intermediaries which may be associated with security market in
any manner.
SEBI has issued regulation in respect to each intermediary to ensure proper service to be
rendered by them to investors and to the capital market.
The following are the primary market intermediaries.
1. Merchant bankers/lead agents.
2. Registrar and transfer agents.
3. Underwriters
4. Bankers to as issue.
5. Debenture trustees.
Primary market instruments
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 21 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
The instruments used by the corporate sector to raise funds are selected on the bases of
[1] investor preference for a given instrument. [2] The regulatory frame work where
under the company has to issue the security.
Investor preference very with their attitude toward risk and their investment goals and
also their investment horizon. The tax liability of the investor does affect the choice of
investment media. The firm on the other hand is affected by the debt equity ratio
permissible, SEBI guideline on issue of capital and the formalities to be complete with
while raising an issue. The tax liability of company, the purpose for which funds are
required, debt serving ability and willingness to broad base the share holding of the
company all influence the choice of the instrument. The corporate sector and financial
intuitions have been issuing new instruments to attract the investors. However, the range
of instruments used is still very narrow. Convertible debentures are the most popular
instrument in current scenario to raise funds from the market. The attraction of the
instrument of both the corporate sector and investor lines in:
1. The investor gets reasonable returns during the initial years followed by equity
participation on conversion.
2. The issue involves lower post tax cost of capital, thereby entailing on a lesser
strain on liquidity.

ELECTRONIC MEDIA: TV THE NEW GOLDEN
ERA
Television was introduced in India September 15, 1959, as a pilo project in Delhi. Two
one hour telecasts from a make shift studio in akashvani bhavan were transmitted. The
equipment had been gifted by UNESCO. But for year, no one was really aware that
television even existed in India.
In September 1959, a hazy vision appeared on the first wooden television set in Delhi.
The blurred vision was much clearer when it reappeared in 1965. it was in augest,1965
that a daily transmission was started in Delhi, but only in 1972 did television spread to
other parts of the country. By the early seventies, jallandar, Mumbai, Calcutta and
madras had TV stations. Most of the programmes were either film-based or transmitted
live from the studio. To be precise, TV started in Mumbai only in 1972. it was more than
13 years after it was launched in Delhi that television finally appeared in Mumbai. On 2nd
October, 1997, it was the silver jubilee of the TV in Mumbai.
Sunday feature films first caught the fancy of TV viewers in early seventies. the first
popular programmes using the outdoor broadcast vans (OBVs) were used to telecast
cricket matches, the R-Day parades and the independence day speech of the p.m.
Special facilities: magazines provide demographic and psychographic data of their
audience to the agencies/advertisers. Adversarial are offered. These incorporate editorial
matter on a particular theme say, foods, printing, and pharmaceuticals and so on. Ads are
interspersed in the editorial matter. These give an opportunity to advertisers of the same
and allied products to advertise in a focused manner. Magazines provide support in/ales
promotion contests.

The 1967 election transmission was American Apple satellite was used for national TV
service in 1975. the most major milestone of TV transmission was crossed on Augest
15,1982 when TV went colour on the eve of the Asian games. Vasant sathe was the
information and broadcasting minister then. The winds of perestroika started blowing
across the living rooms of the tube watchers. National programme was started using
INSAT. Then came the Regional transmission. In 1984-85, TV spread everywhere with
almost a new transmitter being inaugurated everyday. It was said in the tighter vein that
Nehru was a visionary, shashtri a reversionary and indira Gandhi a televison. Commercial
TV was introduced way back in 1976, but took off only in 1983, with incident of highly
popular soap opera of manohar shyam joshi’s hum log. The 9pm daily fix for the nation
was provided by various serials. This was followed by highly successful mythological.
The year 1976-77 was a water-shed in the history of Indian advertising. It is in this year
that DD started accepting ads. It brought about a qualitative change in advertising.
The early TV ads were merely stills with voice-overs, or short versions of cinema ads.
The first TV ad was of topaz blade_’ still. Amongst the pioneering TV ads, we can count
the commercial of j & N paint, where models Dalip Tahil and Maya Alagh argued over
the shade for their bed-room. The first ad film to aired on DD was vichitra saree in 1982.
in mid-eighties, the memorable campaigns were Garden Sarees by mudra. We also
remember the Rasna campaign with punch-line ‘I love you Rasna.’ Initially, the choice of
the programme was limited to just three programmes a week- the Sunday evening film,
chitrahar and phool khile hai guishan gulshan. TV advertising brought many local brands
into national prominence e.g. nirma. After the soap opera hum log in 1983, many other
serials apparel on TV and TV offered a variety of programmes to Indian advertisers to
put their messages across.
Direct broadcast satellite (DBS) revolution hit the skies. In June 1981, a company called
network - associate of UTV pioneered cable TV in India. This was the true beginning of
the multi-channel revolution. First in the wake of the gulf war, it was CNN. It was in the
winter of 1991. Soon came on the scene star TV. Star stands for satellite transmission for
Asia Region. The globalization of Indian television had begun. From a single channels
(entertainment, music, sports, current affairs business, metro) from august 15, 1993. these
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 58 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
were restructured into DD1,DD2,DD3 and the regional channels of DD4,DD5,DD6 from
February 1,1994. these channels will be receivable terrestrially also (without the dish) in
some select centers. DD started its own movies channel called movie club from 7 th April,
1995, at 9.00 pm. It is a satellite channel beamed from inset 2B.
Hundreds of communication satellites are now orbiting the earth inhabiting the narrow
belt known clarke’s belt,’ nearly 37000 kms above the equator in the geo-stationary orbit.
The growth of dish antennas to received the programmes has been dramatic- they have
shoot up from 7500 dishes to a sensational 50000 – plus as estimated by IMRB.
Since only 10 p.c. of the approximately 36 million TV sets in India are currently hooked
to the solidities cable distribution system, the potential for growth is tremendous. The
number of sets connected to dish is growing at 20 p.c. of area arc already covered are 46
million. By 2000 they will be 82 million. More and more people will be drawn to TV in
rural areas both terrestrially and through satellite in this decade. DD has 49 centers.
The union government has decided to lease out satellite TV channels to private parties. In
all 21 satellite ‘pay’ channels (on the lines of what STAR TV plans) will be leased. While
the modalities of the pay channels arc being worked out, the stage is set for the allotment
of time slots to private parties on the five new DD channels. The new DD channels are
telecasting 40 hours daily. The competition is honing up.
Prasar bharati ordinance has been promulgated in 1997. ii sets up a board, and frees the
electronic media from the government control substantially.
With one crore sets and 10 crore viewers in the rural area, the world has come to the very
heart of the Indian village. About 70 p.c. of villagers watch TV everyday, with a weekly
reach of 97 p.c. (DD survey on rural audiences). It is amazing to learn that rural floks also
watch English serials oshin on DD and Santa Barbara 4and the bold and the beautiful on
STAR. Satellite TV has reached village I Maharashtra, Gujarat, A.P., Punjab and goa. In
villages, 36 p.c. of sets are owned by farmers and equal number by those in the services
sector. There are many community sets. Punjab tops the states with 100 p.c. national
coverage while MP has lowest with 72 p.c. Regional coverage is highest in Delhi (98
p.c.) and lowest in Bihar (71p.c.) Punjab has the highest rural TV household and Bihar
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 59 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
has the lowest. MP has the highest percentage of B&W sets, while kerala has the lowest.
B&W sets still predominate rural areas (except in kerala).
TV has made the people to realize that there is a world outside India. Even rural floks and
maid servants have realized that there is a luxurious world beyond, peopled by
sophisticated blondes and suave lover- boys. Through the RBC brunette with her Queen’s
English, we learn about things our medium has taken great care to suppress. As Masood
observes, ‘sky invasion is at last making India an adult’
DD has started a 24-hour news channel, DD world channel, and DD sports channel. DD
also has a separated Movie channel.
Ad firms have welcomed the growth of TV as a medium. More and more budget is being
allocated to TV. Advertisers spend almost Rs.1,200 crores per annum on TV. By the
2000, advertsing revenue on TV will grow to RS. 3,000 crores. DD’s revenue from
advertising was RS. 430 crores in 1995-96, and is likely to touch RS. 500 crores in 1996-
97. Many companies spend almost 40 p.c. of their advertising budget on TV advertsing. It
was observed that in the financial year approximately 10p.c. of TV ad revenue had come
as a result of diversion from the print medium. In future the advertising budget on TV of
all companies will be almost 60p.c. TV sells its advertising time in terms of 10 –second
spots and as free commercial time along with the sponsored programme TV as an
advertsing medium, as a mass communication medium promoting various genres of
software like soap operas, talk show and music shows has become a new golden goose.
Mahatma Gandhi when he first went into as AIR station was so impressed by the
possiblilities of broadcasting that the remarked: “here is shakti.” To others radio and TV
are not shakti or saraswathi so much as lakshrni. Roy Thomson described a TV franchise
as a license to print one’s money. It encourages crative talents in diverse fields to
flourish- TV journalism, comparing, cinematography, editing, direction, acting,
modeling, fashion, advertsing etc.

TV versus other media
The ad revenue has increased from RS. 1,504 crores in 1991 to an expected Rs. 3,300
crores in 1995. This is due to satellite TV, and the availability of foreign brands. The
value of ads in press have grown up by about Rs. 800 crore (from Rs. 1142 crore in 1991)
However, the share of the print medium in total ad revenue has fallen from about 70 to
under 60 p.c.
Television has been the single biggest factor in opening up a huge rural market for
consumer products and creating a higher level of aspiration among the huge Indian
middle class estimated at over 150 million people.
Ads of low-priced consumer products formed 20 p.c. of print medium’s advertisements.
This segment is fast shifting to TV.
DD’s ad revenue grew by an average 62.5 p.c. over a period of 8 years, bringing it to
Rs.361 crores in 1992-93. Since 1993-94 the satellite TV ate up DD’s revenue and it
could reach only Rs.371 crore, with an increase of 2 percent. The satellite channels grew
by about 50 p.c. to Rs.180 crore, a twelve times increase from Rs. 15 crore in 1992. this
is expected to reach Rs. 300 crore by 1995.
The broadcasting compaines have organized themselves under the banner of the Indian
Broadcasting Society on the lines of the Indian Newspaper Society (INS).

Merits and demerits of TV advertising
First let us consider some special characteristics of commercial TV.
Here on national network the advertisers reach the national mark. On second channel they
reach the regional market on satellite channels they reach markets of several countries
TV is a home and family medium. Viewing on TV effortless. There is a movement, and
so the product is close to reality.
For example, an aircraft acquires a beauty not seen when flying above in the sky or static
as in print ads. The expression of Ankita Jhaveri, the child model Rasana ad signifies
that Rasna is very delicious. Malavika really conveyed what Frooti is all about in her
rustic outfit. In India also, we get now viewer ship data and ratings of different
programmes.
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 62 -

Special merits of TV
TV has immense impact (no other medium can ever compete TV as far as effective
presentation, is concerned. It attracts attention immediately. Computer graphics has made
it still more effective. It arouses interest in the produce print ads, these two steps require
deliberation. Here it comes spontaneously TV commercials and Spondered program are
impactive even when the viewer is temporarily not before the set.
Excellent Quality of Production TV’s sponsored programmes and DD programmes have
been improving in terms of quality- content wise as well as production wise consistently
over a period of time. The agency exercises overall supervision. We have cadre of TV
producers now. Sometimes the movie moghuls themselves produce a TV serial (e.g.,
sagar produced Raniayana and B.R Chopra the Mahabharat). So skilled hands handle
this medium. Some Sponsored programmes are lavishly made. They do a lot of outdoor
shooting. But most of the programmes are indoor shot programmes.
Familiar, Friendly Voices: Here the models are all familier and their presence is
reassuring. The audience likes the face, and welcomes it. We thus see Karan lund, Maya
Alagh, Malavika, Suchitra Krinshnamurthy, Kavita Chowdhary (lalitaji) Kittoo
(Kaushalya) Gidwani, juhi Chawla after all, it is an entertainment medium. The model
attracts attention in his or her own right. It adds to our pleasure. This is a distinct
adventage of TV.
Retailers also watch TV: Both consumers and distributors are TV viewers. The retailers
might miss out the ads in print media. But they are exposed to TV ads. Thus they fell
inclined to stock these products. Nand Kishore Khanna & Sons, a local firm making
Homacol liquid soap has definitely improved its distribution after TV- 47 – advertising.
The single medium does a double job.
It is a comprehensive Technique: In TV, there is a unique blend of sight, colour,
movement, sound, timing, repetition and presentation in the home. Put together it has
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 63 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
more attributes than any other medium. It, therefore, produces quick results. Only the
product should be a nationally marketed Consumer product.
Evocation of Experience It stimulates the experience of using and owning the product.
Demonstration: Product benefits can be shown most effectively by TV. Benefits may
accrue over a period of time. But by using the technique of time compression product
benefits can be shown in a 10- second spot.
Creative use of Environment and Menial Make-up of Viewers: The editorial
environtment of a Sponsored programme can be creatively used to produce a commercial
e.g., circus artistes can be shown using ACTION shoes before the teleserial of CIRCUS.
Animation: It is possible to vest the product/logo with human qualities. Animated
characters do not alienate us.
Image Building: TV succeeds in building a powerful image of the Company and its
products. It can also project an image of the users rendering it excellent for life-style
advertising.
Emotional content : TV triggers off nostalgia, tenderness, generosity kindness and such
other emotions. The special effects enhance the impact.
You have to be extremely genuine on TV. The slightest- on is easily captured on the

Special demerits of TV ads
Ii lakes time to produce commercials and sponsored programme-:
This medium requires planning and deliberation. The consent for sponsorship is hard to
come by. It lacks the flexibility of press and radio. If not right produced, the ads look
very crude. But once produced as per our: requirements, these ads can be repeated over a
period of time.
It is a transient medium: here the commercial flickers for a few seconds and goes off the
air. We work over hard with insistent jingles and repeated sales message. sometimes, the
commercial flickers for a few seconds and goes off the air. We work over hard with
insistent jingles and repeated sales message. Sometimes, the commercial is repeated
frequently. TV ads alone may not be sufficient. They need supportive ads in other media.
More than one or two spots are necessary to be as noticeable as one insertion in print.
Time gap to purchasing. If TV advertisement sinks into the mind, it is okay. But
otherwise, a mind that is well prepared for buying a certain product cannot do SO
immediately because there is a night to go by and only next morning the action can be
taken. By that time, we might not have kept the product in mind.
The ‘buy now’ pressure exerted on the TV viewers is totally wasted because the stimulus
is often lost by the following morning. This is one of the reasons why TV needs a very
high frequency to sustain the impact.
An immobile medium: radio can be listened to either in a car or while walking. New are
read in locals, in offices and at many other locations. Right now, TV is watched only at
home. It requires a captive audience. It penetrates the home. This is an advantage as well
as a disadvantage.

Difficult to gain enquiries: TV restricts itself to typical purchases. Detailed enquiries
cannot come. It is difficult to note either the telephone number or the address.
Another major problem is that too much is compressed in a TV commercial lasting for a
few seconds. It is a digest, and is easily assimilated and absorbed. At first viewing, there
is novelty. But on absorption this wears oft on repeated. Viewing, it becomes if we can
serialize a commercial it is better to produce several less ambitious films than to produce
one super produce several less ambitious films than to produce one super production.
Slight changes make all the difference in results.
Time constraint: in a few seconds, we can put forward only one selling proposition.
Production costs: cost of producing a commercial is high as compared to costs of the
print production. The paying capacity of the client, the prevailing rates in the market, the
nature of the product, and the commercial values of the programme that accompanies the
commercial determine the final production cost.
Hardware capability: the TV set of the viewer and its technical capability determine the
overall impact of the commercial. Cinema can afford the luxury of long shots, but not a
TV commercial. All commercials should be tested in real-life situations, mostly on
portable B&W sets. The colour reproduction is controlled in print media, but on colour
TV set itself determines the colour reproduction.
Statutory controls: TV commercials have to conform (to a broadcast code strictly.
Fragmentation of audiences: all channels have a diversity of programmes to attract
viewers. They intend to penetrate the viewers of other’ channels by a diverse programme
mix. This channel penetration at the same time gives programme options. This naturally
leads to fragmentation of audiences and lower regularities of viewer ship. It is difficult to
convey a message in such a situation. It can prove a blessing in disguise for the print
media. The relationship with TV is extremely with TV is extremely flirtious.
Effect of clutter: the viewer ship of ‘a commercial is less than the viewer ship of the
programme which accompanies them. The lengthier the chain of commercials, the less is
the viewer ship. Several studies in India have shown that the total audience for
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 66 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
commercial for an average TV programme is substantially lower than that of the
programme, sometimes below over 50 percent. The figure is further eroded due to a large
passive audience of the total commercial audience. The duration of a commercial does
not seem to play a significant role in brand name recall. Top rate programmes on any
channel have high commercial clutter leading to poor ad recall.
TV transmission and Reception:
TV brings us images from far and wide. A TV camera converts a stream of pictures into
electrical waves, which are received by our TV set where these are again reconverted into
pictures. The whole transmission is so fast that we see the events as they happen. The TV
camera scans a picture from left to right as lines. These optical pictures are projected on
to the target screen inside the TV camera. The screen is made up of cells of care cesium.
A needle – sharp beam is emitted through an electric gun. The beam sweeps the target
screen. In the process is comparable to reading. This is called scanning, as observed
earlier. The cells are then electrically charged. The charge is strong when the cell is in the
light part of the picture, and weak when it is in the dark part. These charges form
electromagnetic impulses.
As TV is audiovisual, we have to use a microphone which converts sound into electricity.
Both audio and video waves spread outward in straight lines. As the earth is curved,
terrestrial transmission is possible over a larger area by putting many transmitters and
aerials. A transmitter sends continuous electro magnetic waves. These continuous waves
is called a carrier wave. It is of high frequency (in other words it alternates rapidly). Its
pattern is constant. The picture worm and carrier wave pass through a modulator which
super-imposes pictures on the carrier wave. Another carrier wave is that of the sound. Its
wave length is not the same as that of cable-lines on land. Across the oceans, pictures are
sent by a satellite link.
Receiving TV signals at home is exactly the reverse process. The antenna collects the
signals both audio and video. In the TV set, they are taken from their carrier waves and
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 67 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
amplified. The sound impulses go to the loud speakers. The picture signals activate a thin
electron beam of varying strength. When the beam strikes the screen, the tiny dots glow,
and trace the lines from left to right. Some 30 pictures every second appear rapidly. It
gives the illusion of motion.
In colour TV, three basic colours are used. They are red, blue and green. The light is spilt
up into these colours in TV camera by a set of prismatic mirrors. They separate out the
colours and send them to its own electron gun with its own target plate. The dark-light
information is sent by each target plate but it combined when passed to the carrier wave.
In our TV set, the dc-coder separates these colours signals, and leads each to its own
electric beam housed in a single tube. The screen carrier the grid of phosphoric dots
arranged ii; group of three; red, blue and green. The perforated mask receives the beams.
The beams are directed by the mask through different angles. In this way, they activate
one of the three colours.
Satellite television
India is a pioneering country in satellite TV. Rura programmes were beamed
experimentally by satellite TV in the seventies. India successfully scattered images over
formidable distances using a satellite transponder. The seeds for a new technology were
sown. The agency which conducted this experiment was ISRO: Indian space research
organization. People who persuaded indira Gandhi were not politicians or advertisers or
bureaucrats but our space scientists- vikram sarabhai, yash pal, E.V. chitins and their
team. They launched satellite instructional television experiment called SITE. It used a
communicators, intelligence agencies and scientists. The experiment of STV faded out in
India. The world took over where India had left off. What India did in the seventies
became a communication revolution later.

Satellite T.V.Transmission
By 2000, the satellite channels available for us on a global basis would be 500. Thanks to
new digital technology, with a small four-foot dish antenna, programmes can be beamed
all over India. The dish can be made in India, and will retail for Rs.5, 000.
Uplinking from indira: as a policy decision, the government has decided to allow Indian
satellite channels to uplink from India since June, 1998. VSNL has already uplinked six
Indian channels six Indian channels out of their gate-way at Chennai. VSNL has plans to
set up five dedicated earth stations for TV uplinking. These stations will be at Chennai,
dehradun, Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Delhi and Mumbai will be operational in 1998,
and Hyderabad and dehradun in 1999. Until recently, TV broadcasters from India had to
rely on foreign uplinking facilities offered by centers in Singapore, bankok and
hongkong. It was too cumbersome to transport the programme tapes. VSNL changes a
reasonable fee of Rs. 6 lacs per month for uplinking. Uplinking will become free for all
by 2004, as per WTO agreement.

Future of television

technology may soon become obsolete.
2. TV audience is not homogeneous and to put it rhetorically they are not couch potatoes.
They have little in common except some universal traits. These traits are appealed by the
lowest common denominator. It makes TV worse as a medium. Computer network
respond to diversity of the human beings. TV broadcasts are top-to bottom. Computer
network interaction is peer-to-peer. There is no limit to the channels available in
computer network – as many machines as are linked in network are available for
interaction. The viewer is the king rather than the transmitting station. TV as of today is
an affront to human nature. The death is inherent therefore in its very nature. Right now,
costs may not favour compuer networks. Soon however chips conaing billions of
transistors will be available for less than $ 100. Besides this, scarce realms of the radio
frequency – spectrum will open up possibilities of cheaper communication. Micro wave
cells using a protocol called code division multiple access can use the entire radio
frequency. These can be used for TV broadcasts or computer networks. Both TV and

single chips leading to n2 gains in computer efficiency and telecom – computer linked

TV set burdens the system without increasing the technical power of the system. In
computer network, each new addition becomes a resource – it expands its capabilities and
potential baiia-width. The larger the network, the more powerful and efficient it becomes.
Descendant of TV: it will be a telecomputer. The digital data will be stored and
forwarded in millions of such TCs. A film/file can be summoned or sent. Similarly we
can have access to any news story, clip, co~’rses, catalogues – anywhere in the world. It

History
The CNBC channel originally had its beginnings around 1980 as The Satellite Program
Network (SPN), showing a low-budget mix of old movies, instructional & entertainment
programs, and infomercials. The channel later changed its name to Tempo Television.
After initially signing a letter of intent to acquire Tempo,[4] NBC eventually opted for a
deal to lease the channel's transponder in June 1988.[5] On this platform, the channel was
relaunched on April 17, 1989 as the Consumer News and Business Channel. NBC and
Cablevision initially operated CNBC as a 50-50 joint venture,[6] choosing to headquarter
the channel in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
The newsroom at CNBC headquarters also used to host Power Lunch.
CNBC had considerable difficulty getting cable carriage at first, as many providers were
skeptical of placing it alongside the longer-established Financial News Network. By the
winter of 1990, CNBC was only in 17 million homes - less than half of FNN's potential
reach - despite having the muscle of NBC standing behind it.[7]
However, around this time, FNN encountered serious financial difficulties. After a
protracted bidding war with a Dow Jones-Westinghouse Broadcasting consortium,[7]
CNBC acquired FNN for $154.3 million on May 21, 1991 and immediately merged the
two operations, hiring around 60 of FNN's 300-strong workforce.[8] The deal increased
the distribution of the newly enlarged network to over 40 million homes.[8] Cablevision
sold its 50% stake to NBC upon completion of the deal.[9] With the full name "Consumer

News and Business Channel" dropped, the network's business programming was at first
branded "CNBC/FNN," although this was phased out before the mid-90s.
CNBC began to grow during the 90s, launching Asian and European versions of the
channel in 1995 and 1996 respectively.[10] In 1997, CNBC formed a strategic alliance
with Dow Jones, including content sharing with Dow Jones Newswires and The Wall
Street Journal and the rebranding of the channel as "a service of NBC and Dow Jones". [11]
CNBC's international channels were then merged into a 50-50 joint venture with their
Dow Jones-owned rivals, London-based EBN (European Business News) and Singapore-
sited ABN (Asia Business News) in 1998,[12] while ratings grew on the U.S. channel until
the new millennium's dot-com bubble burst in 2000.[13]
The front entrance of CNBC's New Jersey HQ
The new millennium also brought changes to the network, moving its world headquarters
from Fort Lee to Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey in 2003, which features completely
digital video production and studios made by PDG Ltd of Beeston, Nottinghamshire and
the FX Group of Ocoee, Florida.
NBC Universal reacquired full control of loss-making CNBC Europe and CNBC Asia
from Dow Jones at the end of 2005. The licensing agreement between Dow and CNBC
U.S. remained intact, however.[14]
Today, CNBC provides business news programming from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern Time,
while broadcasting talk shows, investigative reports, documentaries, infomercials,
repurposed NBC game shows, and other programs during the evening and early morning.

Content
The Financial Express has supported the eventual breakdown of the arbitrary control-
based system that characterised the Indian economy to its emergence as a free market
enterprise with accent on merit. The paper espouses the same position in its coverage of
international developments. The position is based on a careful observation of the way
economies have evolved in the past few decades. This is also known as a championing of
the free market position. The FE columns and editorials articulate this opinion succinctly.
The FE edit page columns are therefore the most widely read pieces among all business
publications in India. Besides, the newspaper has an exclusive tie-up with The Economist
of London to carry its articles all days of the week on the op-ed page, except on Saturday
and Sunday.
Columnists
A number of Indian and global economic experts pen their columns for The Financial
Express. These include Ajay Shah, Bibek Debroy, Lord Meghnad Desai, Avinash
Persaud, Vijay Mahajan, Manish Sabharwal, Rajesh Chakrabarti, Amitendu Palit, Ila
Patnaik, Mahesh Vyas, and Raj Majumder.
News
FE’s news coverage is known for comprehensive sweep of economic policy making,
corporate developments and market trends. For India’s fast expanding middle class of
over 300 million, as per latest NSS data, plus the CEOs and government officials, the
insights into the Indian growth story are particularly edifying. On weekdays there are a
number of special pages titled FE Insight and FE Special, which carry reports and
analyses on crucial areas of the economy -- automobiles, infrastructure, entertainment,
capital markets, workspace, small and medium enterprises, infrastructure, real estate,
green businesses and BRIC Plus. The Financial Express on Sunday focuses on the
weekend reading for corporate executives.

History
The Times of India was founded on November 3, 1838 as The Bombay Times and
Journal of Commerce[4], during the British Raj of western India. It adopted its present
name in 1861. Published every Saturday and Wednesday, The Bombay Times and
Journal of Commerce was launched as a bi-weekly edition. It contained news from
Europe, the Americas, and the Subcontinent, and was conveyed between India and
Europe via regular steamships. The daily editions of the paper were started from 1850
and by 1861, the Bombay Times was renamed The Times of India. In the 19th century this
newspaper company employed more than 800 people and had a sizable circulation in
India and Europe. Originally British-owned and controlled, its last British editor was Ivor
S. Jehu, who resigned the editorship in 1950. It was after India's Independence that the
ownership of the paper passed on to the then famous industrial family of Dalmiyas and
later it was taken over by Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain of the Sahu Jain group from Bijnore,
UP.
The Times of India is published by the media group Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. This
company, along with its other group companies, known as The Times Group, also
publishes The Economic Times, Mumbai Mirror, the Navbharat Times (a Hindi-language
daily broadsheet), the Maharashtra Times (a Marathi-language daily broadsheet).

The Times is self declared as a liberal newspaper [1], and is sometimes described as
irreverent.[5]
The parent company has launched a controversial new business initiative, called "Private
Treaties," offering to take an equity stake in a company in exchange for advertising.
In January 2007, the Kannada edition was launched in Bangalore and in April 2008 the
Chennai edition was launched. The launch of the Chennai edition is considered to be last
major English Newspaper battle in India.[6]

CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
(1) PRODUCT:
Services are products, even though intangible, they are hings and service marketrs must always remember that consumers do not buy any products; they buy attributes that are converted into benefits. Legal services, medical care, hair styling, or brokerage services are more likely to be specility services and for these customers may be wiling to go to considerable lengths to acquire the special attributes or benefits they deem essential for full and complete satisfaction. Many services are custom designed products. Services are intangible and heterogeneous and cannot easily be separated from their producers. Intangible dominant products like services cannot be stored nor can they taransported.It is difficult to brand
2 PRICE
Most services marketers follow competitive price policies, pricing their services either at the market price or slightly below. Pricing about the market price is generally employed by larger services firms or by all firms who wish to use price as a means of rationing the supply of their service offerings. The market for tangible dominant products may actually consist of there or four separate segment which are price sensitive and responsive. Flexible pricing seams much more prevalent in the marketing vary, but typically the pricing goal of market it to maximize profits for each sale not necessarily the wisest pricing practice. Other pricing of goals of marketers are to (1)atact new usuness and (2) increase sales volume.
In summary, pricing is service-oriented enerprises is usually demand oriented with many sellers charging what the traffic bear. But in general pricing in particular may be their weakest and least developed marketing skill.

3PROMOTION
Promotion is an important part of the marketing mix for many marketers. The key to successful promotion. Whether it is advertising or personal selling is beneficing the product. Intangible dominant products such as services offer a challenge to the promotion manager.To successfully promote such as service,they are often personalized.
To successfully promote service,they must be made to have a favourable positive image constructed to project attributes of the service.Promoting the service marketer’s image is abit like “Selling the sizzles and not the steak” . Sellers are often expected to be knowledgeable professionals can give needed advice and counseling.market oriented publicity is also used extensively for such service oriented product as enterainment and sporting events. No service marketer whould overlook the opportunity to positively affect public opinion through its news releases or its staged activity design in past to alter publicpercetion or other wise modify behaviour.
4) PLACE
Channels of disitrion for intanant dominant product such as services are generally limited to the buyers and sellers channels of distribution for services are direct and short, this is, from market direct to ultimate cosumer.
In a service oriented “produt” however, it may be more fitting to consider that any extra corporate entity between the producer of service and procpective users which is untilized o make the service available and or more convenient is a marketers shoud perhaps take a fresh look at the channels of distribution for service as distinct from the channel concepts employed for goods.

5) PEOPLE
The people factor in the service marketing mix is perhaps the least they can rely on its getting their marketing mix “right”and the most important. One they have to get right.
Service personnel are present at two levels within the organization. Contact personnel and support personnel are those individuals whom the customer sees such as waiters or receptionists and whom the customers judge the service upon when they search for tangible clues as to the quality of service. The value they attribute to the service relies a grate deal on the conduct of the contact personnel. Employees need ti become ‘ambassadors for the organisation’ as the quality of the service and the quality of the service providers are inseparable.
8) PROCESS
The process element of the service marketing mix is concerned with way in which the service is delivered to the customer. The inseparability characteristic of service has an important implication for how the service company personnel deliver the service to the customer and how the customer participates in the service delivery process.The “auxiliary” aspect of the service that is the added value of the service, become an important competitive wepon in differentiating the service from competious . when the service is experienced by the customers. There fore, the overall effectiveness of the service process fundamentally depands on how the consumers use the service which have been defined as acts rather than things and this casts some light on the concept of “process”many benefits from service occur not so much as a result of what is offered, as in the way of which it is offered.

7) Physical evidence.
Since a service is intangible, it is important for the company to search for tangible or physical clues which enable them to evaluate the opportunities. Service firms must be in gandhinagar &Ahmadabad ware that every aspect of the company will affect the consumer when he comes into contact with the service.
There are two types of physical evidence.
- Peripheral evidence- it is usually possessed as part of the purchase of a service , but it has little or no independent value
- Essential evidence - unlike peripheral evidence it cannot be possessed by the consumer.How ever,essential evidence may be so dominant in its impact on service purchase and use that it must be considered virtually an element in its own right.

1) During our project we learned about the needs, wants and demands of the investors with
regards to the TV news channels and the value of the telecasted stock market programs
for them. Which channel and what kind of program satisfies their needs?
2) We come to the conclusion that the beginners in the stock market prefer, to watch the
programmes on the NEWS CHANNELS THAT THROWS light on the investment
opportunity rather than those who have been regular player in the field. So, it means that
the starts are benefited by those programmes to a great extent. The programmes play
positive role for them their investment decisions.
3) When we went into deep to learn more about which programmes those investors watch
more we reach to the following inference:-
3[A] NDTV profit
In this channel following are the programmes that are often viewed by the investors:-
a) opening moves (10:00 AM to 10:30 AM) as the market opens at 10:00 am
and the transaction takes place at a fast pace every investor wishes to know what are the hot
favorites is the stock market as in which one they should invest, so mostly the investors
(beginners) watch the OPENNING MOVES.
b) D street this week (Saturday 9:00 to 9:30 pm) (Sunday 1:00 to 1:30 pm)
As on Saturday & Sunday there occurs no transaction. The program D Street this week
where D street stands for Dalal street, gives an overall review about the stock market. It
keeps the investor informed about the latest trend in the market and also mentions to them
how the market will respond in the coming week and that is what the investor more
interested to know.

TV commercials
TV commercial is the adverting message that is carried in a limited time span of 10-
seconds, 30-seconds or 60-seconds. The copy of the commercial includes the audio part:
the words spoken by characters and the video part consisting of the visuals, action and
camera cues. TV copy also includes music and sound effects.
In the TV commercial eye advertiser in effect may be visible on the screen, may chat
with the prospects and display the product, including a demonstation of its performance.
TV adverting is very nearly face to face personal selling, except that the communication
is one way, and the viewer’s feedback or reaction cannot be received by the advertiser
while he is on air.
TV copywriters have to visualize the picture and movements, and they should, therefore,
have an understanding of the production process.
Though TV is an advertising medium, t is also an entertainment medium. The
commercial must have entertainment values, but at the same time must not obscure the
sales message that is being conveyed.
TV commercial are produed at a great cost and the props. This is pre- production or
pre-shooting phase.it generally tkes from one to three weeks. This is followed by a
shooting phase of four to ten days. This is called the production stage. After the
commercial is compate, it is subjected to the post production process consting of eding,
dubbing, special effect and super impositions.

TV sells its adverting time in term of 10-seconds spots or its multisks or as free
commercial times (FCT) along with sponsored programmes. The DDgets revenue from
the sponsor for using FT. the sponsor has to bear the revenue charged by the DD and the
cost the programme. Alternatively, a private producer/ production company gets
advertising time which he sells to the advertisers to recover his costs production as well
as fees.
The TV company may buy software outright, e.g., regaht to telecast a filam. The TV
company then sells ad times.
Tgere are iddlemen- timesellers-who buy up programmes from the producers on a
minimum basis, and then sell these to advertisers and agencies, e.g., outfits like prime
time show time and Multi-channel. These companies have two separate marketing teams,
one for marketing the software to the channel and the other to market the programme to
the advertiser. Marketing at the channel end is essentially an understanding of the
individual channel’s programming needs. Marketing at the advertisers end is more of the
media marketing function.
The readers will appreciate that TV commercial are aired before the programme, at the
end of the programme and during the course of thr programme by taking what is called a
commercial breaks. TV programmes are generally serialized, and called teleserials.
Though DD itself has telesrrial producers, we consider a teleserial producer as an
indepent individual who evolves a script and gets approval f the TV channels to become a

Infomercials
Infomerejals are programme lenth cornt- ercials. Infornircials as an advertising tool have
caught the attention of clients and agencies in the US.
Informecials re used to sell product successfully over the phone, refer consumers to
retailers or send custmers coupons or product information. Infoniercial are being
produced for TV- they are longer and pass on much information to provoke consumers to
action. Most informercial are of half hour duration. Informercial are highly effective for
relationship marketing. Between 450-500 new informercials go on air in a year now, compared
with about 250two or three years back. Total revenues for this industry have reached an estimated
S 900 million in 1993. Broadcast TV is the preferred media for informercials. Production costs
have gone up as high production values are now associated with informecial.
Informercial companies establish a market for their companies on air and proft from
accompanying or subsequent sales through otheroutlets Informercial are recommended
to builda long-lasting relationship with Clients and not for a single contact sale.
Infomercials format has proven Successful for certain groups of products
housewares,cosmeties, exercise Equipments and self-improvement courses.estee
Lander is testing an Infomercial for its origins skincare line. S. K. Beecham prometed
sominex sleep-aid products through an informecial. In case ofSominex, Infomercials
have been used to build brand awareness, though traditionally informercials have been
used to sell direct. Informercials invariably have a direct response element in their shows.
With inrmercials, consumers are takin the the first step towards electronic superhighway.
When extended further, infomercials will lead to market programming to the extent
of having an exclusive channel about cars.TV in future, will be interactive- it will not
be invasive TV but it will be TV by invitation.

Philo Taylor Farnsworth: the father of television
This brilliant American, though not as well recognized Alexander Graham Bell and Alva
Edison was responsible for developing his idea of TV in 1922. there were others who
were trying to transmit image through whirling disks and mirrors- a mechanical process.
Fransworth had realized that image could be transmitted by electronic means. His
chemistry teacher Tolman inspired him. Mechanical transmission of short distance has
been made possible by Britai’s John Braid its 1934.
Zworykin of Westinghouse was first though of electric transmission. He explained how
to focus the image to be transmitted on the photo-electric surface of a vaccum tube. Each
point of the image, under proper control, would spin off electrons corresponding to that
could oscillate two million times per second.
Fransworih established financial partnership with EVCFSON and Grorell, the two
Businessmen from san franciso to set up a rearch laboratory in Los Angles. In 1926, Mou
Smith, an authority on elecrophysics endorsed the idea as scientifically sound. They
asked the attoneys to begin a patent search. Fransworth was further assisted by Crocker
National bank to set up a laboratory in a san Francico Loft. Fransworth and his handftil of
commercial assistants transmitted a black- triangle on sep. 7, 1927, which was followed
by the transmission of a dollar sign three months later to their bankers.
Zworykin of Westinghouse appreciated the dissector tube, the main component of a TV
camera when he visited the laboratory of Fransworth. Zworykin persuaded RCA to fund
his own research on similar lines. Both RCA and Westinghouse tried to persuade
BPCBA/TY/GP/2008-09 - 195 -
MEDIA OF FINANCE
fransworth to sell his patents, and there was litigation. They tried to usurp his invention.
In 1938, Fransworth’s patent was awarded priority by thr US patent office. The scanning
tube is the precursor of commercial TV camera, RCA lost in the patent battle. Fransworh
television owned more than 75 crucial patents. Among the Fransworth patents being used
even today.
In 1949, Fransworth sold his patent to international telephone and telegraph in
Philadephia, and become head of its reseach department. He worked on nucler fusion
process, which became the precursor of the hydrogen bomb. His health started to fail, and
heexpired on march11, 1971.
