PROMOTION DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

Photographic Images

Producers must provide PBS stations with a high-quality photo. Costs for production, duplication and distribution of photos are the financial responsibility of the producer. The attached rate sheet includes the cost for distributing photos through PBS Electronic Graphics Service. This convenient "one-stop shopping" service for station promotion directors and producers includes the processing and distribution of color or black-and-white images to stations and/or press in hard copy and/or electronically through PBS Connect, PBS PressRoomŪ and the monthly station image CD-ROMs. Images distributed through PBS will be made available online to national press on PBS PressRoomŪ. Program images submitted to PBS are due approximately 10 weeks before the first day of the month of a program's distribution.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This manual is a set of "guidelines" and should be treated as such. PBS staff members will continue to consult with producers and provide direct guidance on issues concerning final delivery of programs. Please read through the Red Book carefully and make sure that the members of your production team familiarize themselves with the relevant sections. Updates to the Red Book will occur when information or policies change.
