IN THE NAME OF GOD THE MOST BENEFICIENT AND THE MOST MERCIFUL.

Here is a chance for all you willing entrepreneurs and production directors to lay your claim of fame and build a thriving Islamic Channel. Before I put a brief project summary to you I want you understand a few things and you must be observant to normal etiquettes of Islamic forums.

1)Be as creative in your responses (within reason)

2)Show imagination, but with reasoning to why you feel this should be an attractive option or why not a good option to pursue.

3)The content will not be open to any person/s pursuing a devient ideological belief (namely, but not limited too wahabi, deobandi,salafi,ahle hadith & shia).

Project Brief - Using this project brief come up with examples of how to enhance this channel!!

You have recently purchased the rights to broadcast in the Uk for a 24 or12 hr (you choose) Islamic Channel (Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamat), this channel will broadcast over 50+ countries, and would need to tailor content for a wide range of languauges. The main two languages used for the channel will be English & Urdu, however you may like to also broadcast in Arabic, Persian, Bangoli, Hindi or Norwegian (although not limited too any of these languagues). You have pre-recorded material that will be showing on the channel, but this will only last 6 months and therfore more content would need to be added soon. Although you had an initial budget, the majority of this was spent purchasing the channel, and therefore further funds would also need to be generated.

Project Guidance - The channel content should cover,

- All age groups, from 2+ years to elderly people

- Make use of the time slots and their appeal to target audiences, for e.g explain why you feel a particular hour in the day would be benefical to a particular age group?

- What type of programmes should be shown, please give specifics? (i.e islamic dramas, kids cartoons etc..)

- What opportunities are available to generate income for the Islamic Channel?

Please post generously and remember all posts are annonymous.

Jazakallah in advance of your posts.

24 Hour channel but with 8 hours programming that could be repeated twice as most channels do. 24/8=3.

so now, we have 8 hours programming to focus upon for the first year.

Salaam,

The post above regarding point 3, muslim reporters in the muslim world. I would agree whole heartedly had the funds been present. I think these things take up alot of resources. But it's a great point though. At the moment there are only a few outlets which give us a half true picture of reality.
