Credits for Non-Broadcast Versions

Credits for non-broadcast versions of the program will essentially contain the same credit elements that you used for the public television version of the program. You are still required to place an Executive Producer credit and co-production credit at the end credits of the program, as detailed in the Production End Credits.

The main difference with non-broadcast versions of the program is that the logo will need to be placed at the head of the program. This is required for all versions: theatrical, festival, DVD, home video, educational and foreign. For the non-broadcast version of the program you are not required to place the CPB logo in the credits. However, you must acknowledge CPB funding as text in the end credits as follows: “This program was produced with funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.”

In terms of your own production credits, with the non-broadcast version of the program you are free from PBS guidelines and restrictions and so you’re free to generate alternative production credits. There is no need to include underwriter logos. Check with other presenters on how they wish to be credited on non-PTV versions.
