BBS Radio TV Broadcasting Information and Getting Started

Welcome to our Network, where we offer a variety of broadcasting options for both broadcasters and podcasters. To get started, please pick a show name and choose the day and time that you would like to broadcast your show live. You can submit your full name and contact information, along with a photo of yourself and/or your co-host(s), a catchy description of your program, and 12 key phrases that we can use to target search engines to your program.

In addition, please submit any biography text and information for the host(s) and co-host(s) that you wish to have on your personal biography page(s). This can include website links, social network links, donation button codes, videos, products, books, services, hand-outs, pamphlets, and documents you wish to provide to your fan base. You should also include a couple of paragraphs that explain a bit about your talk show. This information will be used to create your interactive profile program page.

If you want to use music files, promos, bumpers, liners, commercials, or advertisements during your show program breaks, please submit them as well. We can also create them for you at no cost. Once you have submitted all of the necessary information, schedule a time to do a professional walkthrough with our staff. During this walkthrough, we will test your sound quality and the audio dynamics between the various hosts. Our board operator will also get to know how you like your productions engineered.

Before we can code you into the system, create your bio pages, program page, blogging section, and podcast environment, and send you the "keys to the kingdom," you'll need to pay for your debut show upfront. This insures us that you have the means, desire, and ability to begin a regularly scheduled broadcast on the BBS Network. Your next payment will then be due the day after your second broadcast.

Please note that there are no contracts to sign, and you pay as you go. You can cancel anytime you want with no strings attached. There are no setup fees nor any additional fees to broadcasting. Your show is usually edited, podcasted, and then archived within 12 hours of the live broadcast.

Our system is profound and can deliver you to the world effectively. Programs air daily, weekly, or biweekly. Some programs air several times per week. We accept all forms of payment and will usually automate this process through our merchant account. You can cancel your show at any time, and you can change your time slot, broadcasting frequency, or even change whether you're broadcasting live on a talk show schedule or simply globally syndicating your podcasts. Our system allows you a lot of flexibility!

If you miss a program, or we cannot reach you during your scheduled broadcast, we will air a podcast from your archives (a rerun from a prior broadcast). You will only pay the broadcast fee when you do not need a live engineer. These reduced rates apply when airing podcasts, broadcasting delivered productions, and/or syndicating programming via live station streams.

If you ever have any questions, please give us a call! We are in during studio hours, which is usually when scheduled broadcasts are airing from 10 am to 10 pm Central time. Before you begin, please read our on-air broadcast policy.
