Any person can submit a program to CTV’s, whether it’s brand new, or a program that has already been made.
In order to put a show on the air you need to make sure it is ready for CABLECAST
Pre-Recorded programs MUST BE SUBMITTED AS a 4×3 (or 4×3 letterboxed) MPG2 file or as a standard DVD. Producers must also submit a Request for Cablecast. Regular recurring shows may submit an Annual Request for Cablecast once a year. You can find our Request for Cablecast forms here.

All submitted programs must include the following
