Pre-Recorded Audio Material Submission Policy

Effective: 6/30/10

In an effort to ensure the best service to all of our clients, the following guidelines must be followed for all audio submission:

 

• All audio materials (sermons, commercials, plugs, etc.) must be “performance ready” at the time of submission. (Any audio materials requiring extra preparation by WAAW, may incur production fees.

• Audio materials must be submitted in one of the following formats: WAV, MP3, or WMA. (for proprietary formats – please consult with WAAW).

• Audio materials may be submitted on the following media: Audio CD, Data DVD, Flash Drives, Compact Flash Drives and other various memory cards.Large files can be submitted through a third party “FTP” service such as “YOUSENDIT” (www.yousendit.com).

• Audio recordings must not exceed the length of scheduled ‘air time.’If air time is 30 minutes, the product should not be less than 25 minutes and not to exceed 30 minutes. (including “intros” and “outros.”)

• Materials must be received by WAAW at least 48 hours (2 days) prior to airing time for weekday airing and at least 72 hours (3 days) for weekend (Saturday & Sunday) airing.WAAW Primary Programming Days are Mondays & Fridays.

• WAAW is not responsible for maintaining previously submitted recordings on file. While we normally keep a record of each client’s audio submissions, when a client want to replay an earlier file (sermon, etc.), the client is responsible for submitting that file again to WAAW. If we have the file readily available – we will gladly re-air the audio.
