SERIES POLICIES

A Series is defined as a show (with at least 20% original content) that is cablecast weekly on the same day, time and channel during a 4-month season with a total running time of 28:30, 58:30, 1:28:30 or 1:58:30.  All current Producers, who have completed Media Policy, are eligible to apply for a Series. A Series is a privilege, not a right.

 

APPLICATION PROCESS:

The allocation of Series time slots are based on a first come first served application process with consideration for channel availability and TRT (Total Running Time) availability. Any scheduling conflicts will be made known to the Producers shortly after the priority application period and resolved based on the discretion of the Station Manager and the Engineer and Studio Operator. Once you are approved for a time slot, you'll be required to submit your first week's file (or back up file for live shows) and make your payment. The payment link will be emailed out with your series approval notification. 


LIVE REMOTE SERIES:

The Live Remote Series tech support will only be available during Monday-Friday, 10am-6pm.  

 

PRE-EMPTIONS:

Airtime preemptions can occur based on the discretion of the Station Manager with the following policies: no more than 2-times in a row in a 4-month Season and no more than 4 times in a 4-month Season.
