 Online Television Channel Activities

1. Title of the Project

The title of the project is “Online Television Channel Activities”

2. Introduction

Television channels are creeping and cropping up day by day. New channels are making their debuts in the
Cable Television Channel List. These introductory channels as well as the existing channels are much aware of
creating and maintaining their popularities respectively. The main source of income of these channels are the
fund collected from the advertisements provided by the various companies in between the breaks of the
serials or movies viewed by the channels. These are termed as “Commercial Breaks”. These commercial
breaks provide benefit to both the companies as well as the channels. For the companies they help to spread
the details of their product through viewing the advertisements. Again the advertisements in between the
programs are viewed in exchange of money that the companies provide to the channel for viewing. Thus the
television channel has much interest in booking companies for viewing advertisements in between their
channel program breaks.
Not only that the Television Channels also earns a lot of money from the Corporate Section in which the
television channels gets tenders from the producers for launching of any new serial. This also brings lots of
revenue to the television channel network for the utilization of their program slots by the corporate sections.

General Benefits of a Website:

These are but a few key benefits of owning a website:

 Increased awareness of products and services - Businesses can greatly expand their markets, no need to
constrain the focus to only the local scene, but by using the Internet, businesses can venture into
international and regional markets, with greater ease. This dynamically changes the nature and the
marketing activities of some businesses, encouraging the business to expand the diversity of its products
and services, to meet these new markets.

 Freedom - With the freedom of being able to post your information on your website, hence on the Internet,
at any time of the day; available information of all variations is increasing at a huge rate. The freedom to
browse anywhere and interact with anyone is enough to tempt the smallest of businesses and the most

IGNOU MCA 2016 PROJECT SYNOPSIS Page 3 of 43

 Online Television Channel Activities

introverted of people to get on the Net; hence Net users are increasing in numbers, at an alarming rate.
Businesses are buzzing on the Net, they have found a way to compete on an even field, with even the
largest of corporations; and within a daily increasing customer marketplace.

Cost advantage - Net businesses are extremely aware of how they can profit by being on the Internet; they
can advertise their products and services without the huge costs, and delays of printing, publishing and
distribution. Reduction of telephone calls to potential customers; follow ups by email; newsletters digitally
made, promoted by email or downloadable from the website, with reduction of distribution costs; less
promotional material sent out, printed and wasted; extended trading hours without a human presence
etc. these are just a few ways to cut costs as well as promote marketing.
About the Television Channel Website:
A Website is a related collection of World Wide Web (WWW) files that includes a beginning file called a
home page. The purpose of a website is mainly to provide information regarding a particular topic. Not only
that a website is also the root of e-commerce. It is via a website that online transactions are made.

The Project is meant for the creation of a website for a television channel that will not only provide channel
program information but will also carry on online transactions by allowing various companies to book
program and advertisement slots. This is being done by placement and approval of tenders in response to
the tender notices. Also the site allows selection of candidates for annexation in the television channel
network crew by selection of candidates via the carrier section under the website. Besides these the
website is also meant to provide channel program detailed information with their timings.

A television channel must bear some name to identify it. This problem is solved by making an assumption of
the channel name. The assumed name of the television channel is Zed Channel and hence forth the name of
the site is assumed to be ZedTv.com.

3. Objective of the Project

The purpose of the website of the television channel is multifold. These are:

 To provide information about the various programs that could be serials or soaps, movies etc. that are
viewed or to be viewed by the television channel. This constitutes the “information” part of the website.

IGNOU MCA 2016 PROJECT SYNOPSIS Page 4 of 43

 Online Television Channel Activities

 To carry online tender allotment for

program slot bookings to the producer/corporate sections who are interested in launching new programs in
the television channel network.

 To carry online transaction by allowing

the advertisement booking companies to book slots between the programs viewed by the channel. This
constitutes the “online transaction” part of the website.

 To provide job facilities in the television

channel network to the interested peoples searching for jobs under the carrier corners of the television
channel website.

4. Project Scope

5. Existing Process
Currently all this information is not available at one place especially online hence our project aims to
address this issue by making all transactions pertaining to a Television channels available on the web at
one place hence providing a single source to variety of users.

6. Proposed Solution
The proposed system will be a Website. This website will store the information in a relational database.

IGNOU MCA 2016 PROJECT SYNOPSIS Page 7 of 43

 Online Television Channel Activities

 Master and transaction module:

Master module will be developed to maintain system security, users, customers, various
services and offering and daily transaction.

 Transaction Module: Transaction modules will be developed to aid various users like General
users, corporate users, and advertisement companies, registered local users for viewing and
applying for various offerings.

User Profiles
The following user types are expected for the News Paper Agency System:

User Brief Description of User Actions

General User View the casting details and timing/schedule of the existing and forth coming
programs
Corporate User View tender details for the available program slots and Post their tender for
approval
Advertisement View tender details for the available program slots and Post their tender for
Companies approval
View the jobs available in the television channel network and post bio data
Site Administrators Managing the website

Benefits of the proposed system

This website can be used by any television channel company for publicity of their channel
worldwide. This application also allows its end users to get benefit of viewing channel program
details and their timings. The corporate users now need not have to send any representative to
submit tender quotations to the television channel network’s main and branch offices. The
advertisement tender submission is also made easy online. Everything is available and could be
carried out online.

7. Project Category
RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)

Relational Database Management System is a type of Database Management System that stores data in
the form of related tables. Relational databases are powerful because they require few assumptions
about how data is related or how it will be extracted from the database. An important feature of
relational systems is that a single database can be spread across several tables.

8. High Level System Requirements

System analysis is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing problem and using the
information to recommend improvement to the system. In brief, we can say that analysis specifies what
the system should do. In terms of any software development life cycle, the analysis phase is the first
phase covered. It is the phase that is based on the following principles:

 The information domain of a problem must be represented and understood.

 The functions that the software is to perform must be defined.
 The behavior of the software (as a consequence of external events) must be represented.
 The models that depict information function and behavior must be portioned in a manner that
uncovers detail in layered (or hierarchical) fashion.
 The analysis process should move from essential information toward implementation detail.

To develop a website for a television channel network (assumption: Star Channel TV) that allows the
site users to get channel information details and also allow the advertising companies and the channel
program launchers to book their advertisement slots in between program breaks and also for launching
new programs that are to be viewed by the channel viewers.

The various activities are considered to be performed by the website:

 Give detailed information about the existing programs and their weekly Showtime schedules that
are to be viewed by the television channel
 Give detailed information about the forthcoming programs and their castings and premier dates
that are to be viewed by the television channel

IGNOU MCA 2016 PROJECT SYNOPSIS Page 9 of 43

 Online Television Channel Activities

 Provide Tender notices and accept tender quotations from the Corporate and Advertisement
Company Users.
 Cover Site Carrier corner to provide internal jobs to the registered Local users of the Site.
 Allow the users to send messages as feedback to the site administrator and also get feedback
messages from the site administrators.
 Give detailed information about the various advertisement slots available in between the program
breaks

User Requirements

User requirements are categorized by user type.

General User
 View the casting details and timing/schedule of the existing and forth coming programs

Corporate User

 View tender details for the available program slots and Post their tender for approval

Advertisement Companies
 View tender details for the available program slots and Post their tender for approval

Registered Local User

 View the jobs available in the television channel network and post bio data

System Administrator
 Managing the website

Operational Requirements

The following requirements provide a high-level view of how the system will run:

 Processor usage should not exceed 80 percent during concurrent uses.

 Backups will occur incrementally throughout the day.
 A full weekly backup is required to WORM drives.
 Ensure that information is easy to access either, and meaningful for the system users and the
company.
 Minimize the technical knowledge that system users need to access the data, generate ad hoc
queries, search and view books information.

IGNOU MCA 2016 PROJECT SYNOPSIS Page 10 of 43

 Online Television Channel Activities

 Any change to information must be reflected immediately, and the changes must be propagated
to the search engine so that system users that perform searches see this new information.
 The application should work with the existing communications and networking infrastructure.
 The application should deploy with a minimum of additional operational processes, manual or
otherwise.
 Application should run in Client-Server architecture.

10. Project Life Cycle

The Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) for small to medium database application development
efforts. This project uses iterative development lifecycle, where components of the application are
developed through a series of tight iteration. The first iteration focus on very basic functionality, with
subsequent iterations adding new functionality to the previous work and or correcting errors identified
for the components in production. The six stages of the SDLC are designed to build on one another,
taking outputs from the previous stage, adding additional effort, and producing results that leverage the
previous effort and are directly traceable to the previous stages. During each stage, additional
information is gathered or developed, combined with the inputs, and used to produce the stage
deliverables. It is important to note that the additional information is restricted in scope, new ideas that
would take the project in directions not anticipated by the initial set of high-level requirements or
features that are out-of-scope are preserved for later consideration

Feasibility Study

Once the preliminary investigations were conducted it is to be decided whether the software development will
be feasible. Feasibility studies are of various types the major ones are:
 Technical Feasibility- Technical considerations regarding the project are done here. The platform chosen
should be easily available and implemented. Our proposed system has the technical capability to hold the
data required. There should be technical guarantees of accuracy, security and reliability. Here the technical
platforms are – Windows, ASP.NET (page language: C#) for developing this website, SQL Server 2005 provides
the backend support.
 Operational Feasibility– Operational feasibility deals with the user friendliness of the software. It should be
able to handle the workload of as many number of users, capacity of the disk, whether users are able to run
the system. As this project is mainly online, Operational Feasibility matters most. Interface Design of the web
page must be attractive yet simple to operate.
 Economic Feasibility– In the Economic Feasibility, we decide the amount of cost that would be incurred for
developing the software. Money spent for hardware, software, people, resources and miscellaneous
expenses incurred during the progress of the project. Benefits are weighed against the cost and expenses
occurred compared to Manual System.

24. Future Scope and further enhancement of the project

This project was developed to fulfill user and business requirement; however there is lots of scope to
improve the performance of the News Paper Agency System in the area of user interface, database
performance, and query processing time. Etc.

So there are many things for future enhancement of this project. The future enhancements that are
possible in the project are as follows:-

 Linking and integration of any legacy system for accounting

 Integration with Vendors and Supplier database through Web Services
 Connection to third-party OLAP applications
 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system between banks, other credit verification agency and
their vendors
 In the area of data security and system security
 Provide more online tips and help
 To optimize the query which is embedded in the system
 Creating web interface to share billing and delivery details to the customer
