• ALC-TV's Rules & Regulations

1. The use of Avon Lake Community Television's Public Access facility and its equipment is available to all Avon Lake citizens (18 years and older), groups, organizations, clubs and enterprises to produce noncommercial, informational programming for viewing of the general public. Television opportunities for those under 18 years of age are available with the responsible direction of a parent or guardian.

2. Before using the public access designated facilities and specified equipment, all community producers and ALC-TV volunteers must complete the required remote, studio, and editing training sessions, and show competency in the handling and operation of all equipment.

3. All community producers must bring in a copy of their driver's license or state ID for ALC-TV to keep on file.

4. All community producers are responsible for the repair or replacement of any equipment that is damaged or lost due to negligence. Producers are also responsible for any injuries to themselves and their crew members when on an out-of-studio shoot.

5. All programming produced for channels 12 and 28 must conform to all current FCC rules and regulations.

6. All Avon Lake produced programming submitted will be reviewed by staff and will be aired one or more times on the appropriate channel.

7. The producer of each ALC-TV produced program must complete the “ALC-TV Community Producer Agreement” and thereafter complete a “Playback Application” for each program aired. Community producers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Avon Lake Community Television, its directors and employees from liability or legal fees and expenses incurred as a result of the production and airing of all programs.

8. Nonresidents requesting the airing of a program on Public Access Channel 28 that was not produced using ALC-TV staff, equipment, or facilities must have an Avon Lake sponsor and will be aired only once.

9. Studio equipment use is designated by a first come, first serve basis. An “Equipment Use” form must be completed by the community producer, and must be signed out and checked in by staff.

10. ALC-TV cannot guarantee program air dates, time slots, or airing frequency for any program or community producer. These criteria will be determined solely by ALC-TV. A program needs to be scheduled through the ALC-TV staff a minimum of two weeks prior to air date for publishing of the weekly program schedule.

11. All copyright laws regarding subject matter, trademarks, logos, and music must be strictly observed. Any copyright releases must be in writing from the holder and in possession of ALC-TV. Community producers assume full responsibility for any disputes arising from any unauthorized use of copy written materials.
