The Catholic Program Bank Conceptual Overview

VISION To create a cooperative among Catholic Television stations whereby each TV station contributes programming and content into a shared on-line library.

Overview It is expensive to produce quality television programming and content. Save time and money by borrowing a program that has been produced by another TV station. Easier and cheaper to borrow (withdraw) from a shared on-line library than producing a new program. Become a member of the Catholic Program Bank.

A Shared On-Line Library (The Program Bank) Each cooperative member shall deposit programs & content via the Internet into a secure website known as The Catholic Program Bank. The members will each pay a monthly fee of USD$ _____ (through an international credit card) for access to all content in the program bank.

The Program Bank (A Shared On-Line Library) The Program Bank will include in the beginning English, Spanish, and Portuguese programming and content. Additional languages will be added. This can be a Signis project for the whole Catholic Church

How It Works Each member will be given a user name and password to enter the site. The member may view all programs and content deposited in the program bank. The member may download and use this content in accordance to certain business rules to which members will agree.

Other Content in The Bank Besides Quality TV & Radio Programs, the members will also have access to: –Image bank –Music bank –Nature shots bank –Documentaries bank –Witnessing bank –Institutional bank (of the TV stations) –Idea bank

Benefits to The Members If 20 catholic TV stations agreed to work together using “The Program Bank” as a unified organization, an example could be: –Each station agrees to contribute (deposit) 1 program a week into the program bank. –Our bank would have 20 programs per week. –Each member downloads (withdraws) them. –Each station gives 1 program and can receive 19 new in return for a small monthly fee.

Benefits to Member Cont’d There is no upfront cost to members. TV Seculo 21 has already invested over USD $200,000 for back-end/ infrastructure and development. TV Seculo 21 is investing another USD $150,000 on the front end platform which will be completed January Members will only pay a small monthly fee to cover monthly maintenance costs approx USD $8,000 per month (currently paid by TV Seculo 21).
