How to submit your announcement
1. Make sure you're eligible.
All content we show, including CBB messages, must be non-commercial. Check the column to the right to see if you qualify.
2. Submit it early!
There's a rolling deadline for submissions. Make sure we receive your message at least a week, preferably two, before you want it to be cablecast.
3. Make sure it fits our format.
You have only fifteen seconds to get your message across, so keep it short. Trim your message down to the basics.
- What is the event?
- When will it happen? (date and time)
- Where will it happen?
- Who is making it happen? (sponsoring organization)
- Include a phone number, email address or URL for more information.
- Indicate if a fee is required/requested.
If you send us a flier or press release we'll select what we think the most important information is and put that onto the slide.
If your organization has a logo, or if you have an image to publicize the event, please include it in your submission. If you give us a digital copy we're more likely to use it in your slide.
We love it when people design their own slides. If you do so please make sure your slide conforms to the following specification.
- Format: jpg, jpeg
- Dimensions: 800x600px
- Resolution: 72dpi
- Don't put any important information too close to the edges of the slide (50 pixel borders).
We can't accept a calendar of events, nor can we accept one submission containing several dates. Make sure you make one submission for each date you would like to publicize.
