This is a GREAT Game, Ive played it for years... And well, apparently some get into a lot of trouble to make it.
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN BY YOURSELF DONT READ THIS :
1 BUY extra broadcasting whatevers ( In your office to the right ) , buy at leas 1 in the begining of the game. You should pay 100 K for a 3.9 millon station. Buy more as soon as you can.
2 I play dificult , I get 200 K at the begining and the FIRST day I buy a couple of comedy or action movie for 40 to 55 K and get a broadcasting extra 100K thing. That doubles my rating and I make some money with the " La Baguette " 1 spot thing and some other on that value. The second day I ask for a loan from the Boss for another 100 ( He does not give you another 200 .
3 Sell the movies at the begining but further along DONT. They regenerate novelty lets call it after 3 days approx .
4 Movies dont do the same rating on every hour. Commedies get better ratings in the afternoon. Series in the first 2 slots. Action in the 3rd slot . If I remember correctly Whodonit its for the early afternoon also. Experiment with this but the multiplier of rating has to do a lot with the kind of movie you play and the Time of the day.
5 Keep buying coverage all the Time. Dont return the money way after you got your first millon in your bank.
7 There is actually a spot called BP, slogan " WE GET YOU THERE " there its to me, to the wealthy people. This guys ask for 2 ad, in a LOVE and only LOVE movie. The thing is that the rating they ask is not so much if you have like 3 Broadcasting extra things. When the rating they ask is under 23 % of your audience , FIRST look for a good Love movie and get the 700 K in 2 spots. Actually I got it with Rebel without a Cause, in the 3rd and 4th slot ( Movie is 3 blocks if I remember correctly. )But for that you need to need less that 20 % to be sure.
8 Remember , image has to do with rating. The one with more rating in percentage gets an extra 1 % in image, the one with less image in an hour. Gets 1 % minus, and the one in the middle gets no change. The acumulation of this gets you to 70 % of image and gets into bankrupcy the other guys. In the long run , but watch it in the begining. If you buy enough broadcasting things you can play 70 K movies but, will get you in your botticks with the Image thing, so balance yourself with the getting movies over 100 K and buying broadcasting things. Thats the big TIP . Try to play comedies over a 100 K quick but try to buy a broadcasting thing of 100K every 2 days.
DONT produce own shows, care about sammy, buy things for the girl, or buy news for the first 5 days AT LEAST. Its not worth it.
