Wiki Rules
Below is a basic set of rules here they are good here and on our discord as well.


 * 1) Keep it civil: Do not make personal attacks on other people. If you need to criticize another user’s argument, do so without attacking them as a person. Do not use bigoted language, including slurs which degrade another person or group of people based on gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, etc. You will be banned from our game and reported to Fandom on the spot! This is a ZERO TOLERANCE rule. If you break this one very bad things will happen FAST!.
 * 2) Be a productive member of the game: Contribute to the wiki in line with the established processes and conventions. Need help? Ask an administrator! Disrupting the wiki with “edit warring” over differing opinions of a topic with another user or group of users is not productive. Remember have some pride in what you create here in this game and help us grow it as well by being great people! If you need help we are willing to help you out here. In short: Don't Be A Fool here! It might also get you banned in the game as well!
 * 3) Do engage in excessive self-promotion of your stations: This Wiki is the wiki of a fantasy TV game and we encourage you to promote your company and station over on our Discord Page. Please use this wiki to build the background and history of your station. If you want to join our game and apply for a company and station join and apply on our discord page. The wiki is a collaborative community resource for the topic at hand. It is NOT a free place to advertise your related website, YouTube channel, blog, social media account, etc. Have a question about whether your link would be welcome? Ask an administrator!
 * 4) Do not harass other users: If somebody asks you to stop posting certain content on their wall, respect their wishes. It is their wall.
 * 5) Do follow community guidelines for formatting: When a community has established formatting, it’s important to adhere to that, The admin of this game will help to a point. If the station is NOT a official station in the game we will delete it!

These are The base rules of Fandom tweaked for our purposes and game.

TV Stations
In our game we will use Real Life station channel allocations and real life markets.

Also The following real life networks are the networks in the game: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW

Also very important to note and different from other FTV games on other sites and here on Fandom, PBS doesn't exist in this world so their Real life channels spots are available as well. They are NOT off limits. My Network TV is a programming block and is NOT a network in this game.

Stations are  NOT  allowed to Real-Life Full Power TV Station Call Letters. If it is discovered as real life calls, You have to change them

Once all networks are taken in a market, Independent stations will be allowed to be applied for. At this time, there is no market in the game that qualify for this.

Also you are allowed to start Digital Netlet. They will not cost anything as The Digital Netlet is produced from your TV station or Cable Station.

All stations are broken up by The Nielsen TV DMAs

At this time we will not be doing Network Ownership but as we get more companies in the future. we are open to relooking at it

Also All companies are limited to TWO 3-letter calls for Their TV properties.

Radio Stations
All markets will use real life Full-Power allocations

Translators are connected to respective stations

Real Life Radio calls can't be used in the real life market (Example WCBS can't be used in New York because it is a real life radio call also they can only be used in radio.)

There is a 7 station Full Power station limit in all markets.

Cable
There is only one major rule on cable. Networks can be rejected if there is too much of one type of station. We don't to just have cable to have a bunch of News Station. This will allow owners to be creative.

Also, Owners can't overload a bunch of Cable stations. They are expensive at $30 million each! You can have a cable focused company if you want.

Money
All companies will start with $250,000,000

At this time it is up to you to keep track of your funds. I will randomly be looking at companies to see if you are underwater financially. You don't want to do this as you would be consider "Bankrupt and you will have to sell some of your stations to get back to normal.

We do not do loans in this game. So make sure you have a plan about how to build your company!
