Programme Rights Management

This module maintains data relating to the inventory of programmes be it commissioned or acquired. This module is also seamlessly integrated with the Production Management module and maintains a current list of programmes that are available for airing. The various constraints or clauses of the contract when then content is procured can be captured in great detail.

Rights information including validity periods, number of telecasts allowed in the overall license period with further yearly restrictions can be captured. An easy to use work flow to prepare and approve the contracts online is also built-in. Amendments to the contracts can be done at any stage of the contract. The implications of amendments on the schedule, Inventory and Sales are handled gracefully.

Cross Company and Cross Channel usage of content is also permitted with features to restrict use of content on specific channels and regions. While these rules are valid for the same group of companies, the rights can also be managed while being syndicated.

The data captured at this stage also includes the synopsis, cost and TRP related costs. When these programmes are scheduled, the data can be used to create the Electronic Programme Guide.
