Opening Underwriter Credits

Printer-friendly version

[4] Opening Underwriting Credits Time limit: maximum of 60 seconds and no more than 15 seconds per underwriter.

When we refer to underwriters in this chapter, we are speaking particularly of any third party that has voluntarily contributed cash to finance, in whole or in part, the production of your public television (PTV) program.

  • All underwriters must have full disclosure for PTV broadcast,
  • must be mentioned wherever any underwriter is mentioned,
  • and must receive a credit (anonymous funding sources are not acceptable).

NAPT is not an underwriter. Investment partners, licensing partners and other distribution entities providing cash for the purchase of rights other than broadcast rights on PTV are not underwriters and can’t be acknowledged on air.
