Do you have a completed program you’d like KSPS PBS to broadcast and/or stream?

KSPS PBS will consider locally completed programs for inclusion in the KSPS PBS broadcast schedule. Producers may submit information and links to programs/previews and supporting via the online form linked below.

Programs offered for consideration should be relevant to our broadcast area or local issues and concerns and must be:

  • Closed captioned, as required by the Federal Communications Commission, unless the program will not be broadcast. For broadcast consideration, producers must provide KSPS PBS with certification that the program satisfies the FCC's caption quality standards and Best Practices.
  • Free of any defamatory, indecent or obscene material.
  • Free from any copyright claim. The producer must warrant to KSPS PBS that they have obtained clear and demonstrable broadcast and streaming clearances for talent, music, visual works and any other copyrighted content.
  • Insured. Producer must provide evidence of an active Media Liability (Errors and Omissions) insurance policy of at least $1,000,000 that coincides with the proposed KSPS PBS license term.
