Programmers in the Tri-State Area

This article or section is a work in progress. The information below may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change.

In broadcasting in the Tri-State Area, especially television services, a programmer (Phineaner: pengaturcara or kesatuan pengaturcara) is a company that produces television programs, especially for the TIPB television network including TIPB 1, 2 and 3, as well as two low-powered regional stations.

The mixed system (Phineaner: sistem percampuran) of television services in the Tri-State Area was introduced a few months after television was launched, and has been the model of television in the territory from -28BP to the present. This model relies on programmers as the sole producers of programs broadcast on all of the Tri-State Area's major channels. The mixed system was developed by the government as a concession system in which the government body is responsible for the television infrastructure and grants program slots on the channels to private companies. In -24BP, three years after TIPB was established, the government attempted to privatize the programming sector, opening up bidding for private licenses on television channels.
