I need to set up real budget broadcasting, coverage up to 100km radius(it may extend in the future to satellite)right now I’m in Toronto,Canada.we want to cater local as well as international market. . I need the device(s) to place local advertising onto the satellite material. Also something that can automate it (programming is a block of 6 hours, repeated 4 times in a day). Further, need an STL and transmitter. Please give recommendations, ideas, advice. Also, if anyone has a good scheme to show what else I need, I’d appreciate. Oh, I’m in Africa

We have done it in Uganda within USD 200,000 for the equipment; however having good people is very important. We weren’t that lucky in the beginning, and I now have a very small but cost-efficient team. Took us almost two years to learn that people are more important than equipment. We bought ABE solid state digital ready 3KW transmitter and 16 panel omnidirectional antenna; STL; some studio equipment, basic DataVideo mixer and we do all on Mac. Come visit!

Dear Nada,

I saw you 2010 post about having created a budget TV station in Uganda. I am trying to do the same in Kismayo, Somalia and would like to know if I can be in touch to learn from your experience?

Best,
