CCTV Podcast Agreement
Cambridge Community Television (CCTV) distributes podcast episodes on multiple streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and more. CCTV also distributes the episodes on Cambridge channels (Xfinity cable channels 8, 9, & 96 in Cambridge), online web streams (cctvcambridge.org), video on demand platforms (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo), and social media.

After a training session in the podcast studio, the podcast producers are responsible for set-up and breakdown of equipment, bringing their own SD cards (at least 16 GBs), editing MP3 audio and video version if needed, cover-art and graphics for promotional use, and the overall completion of the podcast episode. Once ready to air and distribute, the podcast producer sends the final product to CCTV's programming manager at programming@cctvcambridge.org.

All Podcast producers must have an active CCTV Studio Membership, which includes the use of our podcast studio, editing suite, and multiple CCTV class offerings and trainings.

Disclaimer
Distribution of all programming may be preceded by disclaimers indicating that legal responsibility for program content lies with the producer and not with CCTV, nor the City of Cambridge, nor the cable provider.

Distribution of the following is prohibited by CCTV

Content not protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: Programming that does not fall under constitutionally protected speech and raises serious risk of liability on the part of CCTV. This may include, but is not limited to: libel, slander; unlawful invasion of privacy; sedition (advocacy of violent overthrow of the government); or obscene material.

Obscene material as determined by the courts is material which: to the average person, applying contemporary community standards, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; depicts or describes sexual content in a patently offensive way; and taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

Commercial content: Programming that contains advertising, promotion of the sale or price of any product or service, commercial calls to action or inducements to buy, and business contact information in the form of addresses, phone numbers, and websites. Exception: Non-English programming may contain commercial content when distributed solely on channel 96.

Copyrighted content: Programming that contains copyrighted content without releases, licenses, or other necessary clearances from copyright holders and/or those appearing in the production.

Distribution of the following may be limited by CCTV:

Potentially objectionable content: CCTV reserves the right to limit distribution of programming if it contains potentially objectionable content including, but not limited to: strong, coarse language, intensely suggestive dialogue, or coarse indecent language; intense sexual situations or explicit sexual activity; most forms of nudity; intense or graphic physical violence or degradation; or graphic depiction of medical procedures. Limitations may include, but are not limited to: restricting times to be shown on its channels and webstreams, and restricting availability on its VOD platforms and social media.
