A Beginners Guide To Six: (What Can I Do?)

Independent Producing

Probably the easiest way to start your career in N6. All what you do is submitting programmes to Network Schedule. If some of them have potential, they will appear in Schedule. Remember! You can provide some real programmes, but if they never aired on television.

Digital Channel

If you want to create a new digital channel, you need to get a licence. Ways when you don't need to get a licence to broadcast:
 * If you want to create a SINGLE channel with repeats from main channel on Freeview.
 * If you want to create a timeshift service channel on Freeview.
 * If you want to create a radio/interactive service on Freeview.
 * If you want to create syndicated nighttime service (only if franchises are in one company/holding).
 * If you want to simulcast one/two 3rd party channel on Freeview.

If you want to create a national service you need:


 * Create new thread in Submissions forum.
 * In your post, use a generic submission layout:

Name of Channel Write name of channels & its owner here.

Genre Write what style of channel it will be.

Mission Statement Write here what you want to achieve with this channel; its aims and objectives. Also include things such as target audience, hours of broadcast, styles of programmes, source of programes and how what you expect viewers to see from your channel.

Example graphics Include and link to some presentation elements of the channel. Best bet is an ident, a caption, a menu and a general information board (fault caption).

Example schedule Give us an idea of how the programmes will be shown, e.g. your biggest night's schedule.

Example website(optional)

Rationale for this channel Is there a gap in the market? Why should your channel be approved?

Tip!It's better to present submissions in PDF.
