Good old TV these days has turned into a real miracle of technology.

TV companies by occupation
Three main groups can be distinguished:
1. Broadcasting companies whose main feature is a full-fledged right to broadcast, confirmed by a license. Television companies of this type can create and produce their own television shows, as well as buy them from other television companies.

2. Software-producing (producer) television companies do not have a license, and broadcasting companies act as intermediaries for them. But at the same time they differ in a non-standard, creative approach. These include: GAME, VIEW and some others.
3. Distributors (intermediary) television companies do not have the right to create programs, but with great success they outbid them in film and television markets. They also purchase parts of films and programs (for example, subtitles), improve them and offer them for sale to broadcasting companies.
