Channel 102 Submission Process

Channel 102 Submission Process
(click to see full version)

There are two ways to submit your show:

Option A (preferred): MiniDV

  • Note that it is a miniDV -- not a full-sized DV.
  • Make sure your tape is in Standard Definition. For now, we don't do HD.
  • Make sure your MiniDV tape is recorded in "SP" mode (not LP).
  • DON'T USE DVCAM MODE -- we can't import it.

Option B: TWO DVDs

  • If you submit on DVD, we two disks from you:
    • a playable DVD for our panel members to watch, and
    • a data DVD, with an uncompressed Quicktime file (no other format is accepted), in case your show makes it into the screening.

Whichever way you submit your show, label both the tape or DVD and the case with

  • The title of the show, the name of the creator, and your e-mail address.
  • The show can be a maximum of five minutes, including credits and everything.
  • The show should be in our P.O. box on the day of the deadline, not just postmarked by the deadline. We pick up the tapes that day.
  • The show should be presented as a TV show.
  • The show should be good.

That's it! Send it here:

What happens then?

  • The creators of the prime time shows watch all the shows.
  • They pick the best five or so to be screened.
  • At the screening, a live audience watches the new pilots and new episodes of the prime time shows.
  • The audience votes. Top 5 shows become the new prime time lineup. There is no online voting. The live audience decides.
