Acquisitions

The Acquisitions module controls all the purchased media. Once content has been acquired, after a simple process, the acquired contents will be available so that they can be scheduled, always taking into account the broadcasting rights that have been stipulated and agreed upon at the time of purchase.

When we access the Acquisitions module we can start managing our purchase orders. In this module you can find, create and manage acquisitions contracts. The following sections explain how to access, create and modify your acquisition contracts, and schedule efficiently your showings and repetitions based on many predefined broadcast rights (for example, a whole season with many episodes every Monday at a certain block, or individual movies).

To access to the Acquisitions, just click on
