How Do I Get My TV Show On PhillyCAM?

PhillyCAM accepts all types of non-commercial TV programs produced by members: Talk Shows, Documentaries, News Programs, Animated Short Films, Arts and Culture Events, Educational and Youth Produced Work, etc.

After becoming a member, and attending an Intro to Community Media Workshop for TV orientation a member can submit one TV series (scheduled in half-hour slots) or any number of individual videos of any genre and various lengths, as the schedule allows.

Locally produced programming is PhillyCAM’s first priority but a member can sponsor a program from outside the area with written permission from the producer.
