Channel Time Requests

General Procedures:

• All requests for channel time shall be processed on a fair and equitable basis. An application for SCTV Broadcast form must be turned in with completed program. Scheduling and cablecast times will be determined by programming staff. If producers have special time requirements or requests they should be noted on the Application for cablecast form.
• If scheduling and staff time allows, a taped program may be repeated during the weekly period, for a total of six to eight times per month. Users may produce a Single Program or Series.
• Each individual program produced and each series produced should have on file at SCTV10 a Producer Agreement and Indemnification in which the producer is solely responsible for program content and holds SCTV10 (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) harmless from liability or legal fees and expenses incurred as a result of cablecasting.

Series Scheduling:

• Regularly scheduled "series" time slots will be allocated at the discretion of staff provided ample time remains available for other community programming requests. "Series" will be allocated a maximum of thirteen programs, after which reapplication may be required if a series producer fails to produce new original programming for more than two consecutive weeks or regularly fails to have the program ready for scheduled cablecast, the time slot may be reassigned to other users. A series may be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
