Organization's Mission
What audience are you trying to reach?
What are the goals of the organization?
Have you ever hosted, produced or been a guest on a TV or radio show?

- Once a Quarter
- Bi-Monthly (every other month)
- Once a Month
Producing a monthly program on BCTV requires advance planning to ensure that you can fill your on-air time. Sometimes producers’ ideas lend themselves best to a quarterly program or only a one-time program. Please think about your idea carefully and check which of the following program formats you think you would prefer?
Explain in detail why you want a monthly program
List a minimum of six topics you intend to present
If you are seriously interested in an ongoing monthly program, please list a minimum of six topics you intend to present. This is because we make our schedules well in advance and when producers cancel at the last minute the schedule is thrown into chaos. Proposals without at least six topics will not be considered.
If you plan to interview people, please list potential guests for your program and their relevance
Explain how you plan to present information on your program
Typically, producers use guests, video clips, still photographs and other visuals. BCTV has limited resources to do pre-recorded taping. If you would like to include pre-recorded taping, we will discuss this with you.
Provide at least three specific examples of how you will promote your program.
BCTV depends on its producers to help publicize its programs.
Do you have access to a banner to use as an interesting background visual?
- Yes
- No
Will you be able to use it for your program?
- Yes
- No
Would you be willing to collaborate with another organization similar to yours to get you started?
- Yes
- No
We receive many program proposals. We ask this question due to our limited time periods for airing shows.
Recognizing BCTV’s status as a non-profit corporation, there will be no obscene, indecent, libelous or slanderous material, no inflammatory material, no lottery is involved and no lottery information will be cablecast; there will be no religious proselytizing, no commercial advertising and no political campaigning.
- I have read all of the above and agree.
- I do not agree.
