**Please note that these are maximum lengths for each element, with the exception of the PBS System Cue, which must be :05 (with :01 of black preceding it).
**If programs are packaged to allow for future underwriters or repackaged to remove outdated underwriters, the producer is responsible for providing content related, pre-logo material (and all the costs associated with this) to bring programs to the standard lengths. This material should be positioned after the Website notice and before the production credits.
**If a Top of the Show Tease is not present on a program, the Title/Open should be the first element, immediately followed by the Underwriting Credit Bed.
