Fashion TV<br />
Reality Show at sea! Fashion TV<br />
has been the owner of a ship for<br />
a few months now – a vessel that<br />
was formerly used as a roll-on roll-off car<br />
ferry. The company is planning to use the ship<br />
as a party boat and also intends to broadcast<br />
a reality show based on the Big Brother concept<br />
and starring – what a surprise! – fashion<br />
models. This sounds like a really crazy idea<br />
and we wanted to have a closer look at those<br />
plans. After all, how will broadcast signals be<br />
sent from the ship to a transmitter?<br />

Dishes on Board<br />
Oleg is the IT manager on the Fashion TV ship. Here you can see<br />
him on the roof next to the 1.2 antenna in the radom which keeps a permanent<br />
connection to the Internet. While stationary in Bangkok harbour<br />
the antenna is aligned to NSS 6 and uses the Speedcast service.<br />
Fashion TV has bought this vessel<br />
and converted it to a party and studio<br />
ship.<br />
View of the broadcast centre: this<br />
is where the show is directed. The schedule<br />
on the wall in background shows<br />
which model is working at what time.
