TV Empire Tycoon: the guide to building your TV empire

The game itself is in French, so in-game labels are given in French with a translation. In TV Empire Tycoon your channel starts with a simple TV News show that earns from the very first second. The goal: open all 7 studios, expand your building and grow the city around your channel.

The first minutes

1. Press DIFFUSER (broadcast): each press gives you a boost. The first goal asks you to do it 10 times.
2. Buy one or two more TV News shows: they are the cheapest ($100 at the start).
3. Open the Weather studio as soon as you can, then the Sport studio.

Studio order

Each studio costs more than the last one, but brings in many more viewers and much more money:

• TV News: $100
• Weather: $400
• Sport: $1,200
• Talk show: $5,000
• Cinema: $15,000
• Game show: $40,000
• Concert: $150,000

Each studio's price goes up a little every time you buy one. When a studio gets too expensive, move to the next one: it often earns more for the same price.

Expanding your building

Your building has limited space. Use “Ajouter un étage” (add a floor) and “Creuser un sous-sol” (dig a basement) to make room and keep opening studios. The basement is cheaper at first.

Upgrades that pay off

• Canteen (+6% income) and Control Room (+10% income): the first ones to buy.
• Server Room and Star Lodges: more viewers.
• TV Shop, FM Radio, then the Stadium for big late-game bonuses.
• The Star Hotel raises your offline earnings by 20%: great if you play a little every day.

The city around your channel

In the Ville (city) tab, build houses, parks, playgrounds, apartment blocks and a shopping centre. The bigger your city, the more viewers your channel gets. Several goals ask you to build there.

Follow the goals

One goal is shown at a time, with a cash reward. Following them is the easiest way to progress quickly without overthinking.
