Series Rules

ABOUT PRODUCING A SERIES

A series is a group of programswith a similar theme or idea. To be eligible to produce a monthly series, you must have produced at least three programs and scheduled them for cablecasting. To be eligible to produce a twice-a-month series, you must have produced at least six programs and scheduled them for cablecasting. To produce a weekly series you must have completed two previous monthly or twice-a-month series contract. (Exceptions may be made, at the discretion of the Production Director.) These programs must have been produced in the same format in which you plan to produce the series.

All series producers sign a contract with WCTV agreeing to produce a specific number of programs for cablecasting on specific dates. If you fail to produce and provide for cablecast, four programs for a weekly series, two programs for a twice-a-month series, or one for a monthly series, the series contract will be canceled. If you produce programs outside of those you agreed to in your contract without a variance, you will be in violation of the contract. Any contract violation may be grounds for canceling a series. If your series is canceled for any reason, you will not be granted another series contract without the permission of the General Manager.
