The
following procedures must be followed by community users
to present their program on public access channels:
(a)
Public access channel space for a tape recorded or live
program is encouraged to be requested from Auburn Community
Television at least four (4) weeks before the actual cablecast
date, to enable the program to be included in a variety
of schedules.
(b) Each channel space request shall include a
first-choice time and date, a second-choice time and date,
and a third-choice time and date.
(c) In general, Auburn Community Television staff
will honor channel space requests on a first-come, first
served basis.
(d) When a first, second, or third choice of channel
space is not available, the program producer/provider
will be consulted to seek alternatives.
(e) When a program producer/provider does not request
specific times or dates, staff may schedule his or her
program in an available time slot.
(f) Auburn Community Television may request the
permission of the program producer/provider for extended
repeat playbacks of the program to fill gaps in the public
access channel schedule.
(g) Tape recorded programs which have been scheduled
for cablecast must be delivered to the Auburn Community
Television (with a completed "Playback Request Form")
no later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to its scheduled
cablecast date. Rare exceptions may be made for good cause
with prior notice. If a program is not delivered on time,
Auburn Community Television may substitute another program
in its place.
(h) Each playback request will be timed and dated
by Auburn Community Television staff at the time of submission,
to provide reference.
Tape-recorded
programs submitted for cablecast must comply with the
