For the first time in a video game, players get to manage and develop their own television channel in TV Giant, sheduled for release in Q2/Q3.

There are four television channels sharing the local city network and vying for a share of the viewing figures. As the big boss of the channel you have to win the special prize, awarded every four years, for bringing in the largest audience and highest satisfaction ratings.

To do this you have to deploy everything at your disposal:

* Hire and fire presenters, actors and directors.
* Purchase studios to make your programmes
* Produce your own shows, TV-movies, and series
* Change programming as you see fit
* Run the administration and train your teams
* Arrange for advertising for the channel and its programmes
* Negotiate advertising time for ads on your channel

Above all, you have to decide, in response to opinion polls, what programmes will go out on your channel - their format and target, etc - to try to become the king of rating figures.

Features:

* 30 different communities, all potential targets with their own centres of interest. Sound out people in the street or in their homes, whenever you want, to gauge their opinions.
* 4 rival channels ready to try anything to win over viewers.
* A realistic viewing figure system and a simple, comprehensive analysis tool.
* 10 buildings accessible around the whole town (programme store, advertising agency, bank, etc) plus a vast 3D city.
* 20 highly detailed rooms (control room, studio, archives, etc).
* A kit for creating innovative and simple programmes.
* Intuitive tools for managing, planning and producing programmes.
