TIME SLOTS:		BOOKING A TIMESLOT:
A standard half-hour time slot is 28 minutes. Triangle Television uses the remaining minute of each standard time slot for programme and station promotion. Most of our current programme providers make, film or import their own shows and materials, using their own technical gear, cameras, editing and production facilities. Triangle Television has a limited amount of technical assistance to offer, including camera and studio hire. Programme providers can utilize up to 6 minutes within this time for advertising or sponsorship message to assist in meeting their costs. (Please note no advertising is allowed on Sunday mornings 6am to noon, all day Christmas Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Anzac Day mornings) Programme providers set advertising rates for their own show. It is up to the progamme provider to source their own advertisers and any arrangement for advertising is a business deal between the programme provider and its advertisers. Programme providers must ensure that all material they wish to broadcast (images, soundtrack, advertising) is cleared by the owner of the material, and complies with the New Zealand Broadcasting Standards Authority and Advertising Standards Authority rules.		Time slots are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applications for time slot bookings should be made directly to the Programme Manager, who will discuss available time slots and content issues with the programme producer to ensure an appropriate broadcast time. Time slots are only reserved when the standard broadcast contract has been signed. Cancellation or changing time slot bookings will result in a forfeiture fee. All applications for time slots must be made well in advance of broadcast dates.
