Step into the master control room in Retro TV Tycoon, an authentic 90s television management simulator. As Station Director and Chief Program Scheduler, you start with a modest local transmitter and a humble library of tapes. Your goal? Turn your fledgling channel into a global broadcasting empire!
Every single hour on the clock is yours to program. Balance morning cartoons, daytime dramas, high-stakes Primetime blockbusters, and late-night cult hits to capture maximum viewer shares and satisfy demanding commercial advertisers.
24-Hour Broadcast Grid Scheduling: Full control over 24 discrete hourly slots. Schedule 1-hour series, 2-hour movie blockbusters, or your permanent in-house newsroom. Use retro automation tools like Copy Yesterday or Auto-Fill to streamline your daily workflow.
Demographics & Primetime Curves: Master the daily viewing habits of 5 distinct demographic groups: Kids, Teens, Adults, Women, and Seniors. Catch early commuters, dominate daytime soap operas, and unleash your best content during the critical 19:00 - 22:00 Primetime window.
