Television Industry Structure : Network
Distribution Level : (Broadcast, Cable, Satellite - sell ads = reps) ; buys exclusive rights to things; ex: ABC & Grey's Anatomy; after showing, sells rights back to syndication. Sell ads for national spot TV channel : ABC, NBC, ESPN, etc. Cable network = only have one channel of programming.
Weaknesses of Owned Media
Not Trusted : owned media is obviously providing a company or brand message. consumers know this so they may be skeptical of the message. this is particularly true when brands are engaging directly with consumers. if the brand says one thing and behaves differently, there is the potential for trouble. Time Consuming : owned media may not cost a lot in terms of media outlay, but it can be time consuming. this is especially true of manning digital assets such. as a fb page or twitter feed. developing continuous content takes time and dedicated people to do it. Lack of Consistency : owned media can have many owners. that can lead to a lack of consistency in the brand's voice.
Television Industry Structure : Local
Outlet level : (local affiliates) ; where the consumer might buy the product from; creates their own content; ex: news Sell ads for local spot KTVT = CBS affiliate in DFW

3 Types of Scheduling Strategies : Flighting Schedule
This model is also called bursting. As the name suggests, this an absolute season based products model. The ads here run at very irregular intervals. Advertisements are for very shorter periods and sometimes no ads at all. The ads are in concentrated forms. So, the biggest advantage here is there is very less waste of funds as the ads run only at the peak time when the product demand is on high. Television and radio are the most used media types in this method. So the advertisers who cannot afford the year long ads, this is a best option. E.g. ads for warm clothes in Indian Market.
3 Types of Scheduling Strategies : Pulsing Schedule
This model is the combination of both continuity and flighting scheduling. Here, ads run whole year round but at a lower sidxe that means less ads, and heavy advertisements are preferred at the peak time. So this model has advantages of both the other models. Generally scheduling is fixed for a month. There are six types of scheduling method here : Steady pulse has fixed schedule for 12 months. Seasonal pulse has bunches of ads season wise. Period pulse regular basis ads. Erratic pulse refers to irregular ads normally used for changing old patterns. Start up pulse is used for new product with heavy advertisements. Promotional pulse refers to short period single use ads used basically for promoting products or events.
3 Types of Scheduling Strategies : Continuity Schedule
This model is very good option for the products or services which don't depend on season for advertisements. They run ads whole year round. The advertisements under this type run at regular and fixed intervals. The main advantage here is reminding about your products to the customers continuously. This model helps maintain a continuous and complete purchase cycle. This is a best model for the products having continuous demand all the year round. There can be a Rising Continuity in which some specific products are been advertised in the peak seasons for e.g. floaters are advertised more in rainy season while some products fall under a Falling Continuity in which either ads for new products are run or if there is any other change in the existing product.

Targeting Methods : Behavioral Targeting
another way to target your market is by how its members behave. this type of targeting is very popular in the online world, where it is possible to track websites someone is visiting in real time. the idea of behavioral targeting is to have a relevant message for someone at the time it is most relevant to them - that is, when they are actually demonstrating or behaving in a way that indicates your brand is important to them.
