    Anyone know broadcast guidelines for MTV UK?

    Posted by Michaelle Stikich on July 11, 2007 at 6:04 pm

    Hi All,

    I’m finishing up a music video for MTV in the UK. We haven’t really gotten any feedback on what tape format to submit and what exactly their standards are. Does anyone here know?

    Thanks

    pretty much the same as any other broadcaster… phone their engineering department, they’re pretty accomadating… they’ll email their specs… Find out if they use the Harding test for photo sensitive epilepsy, it’ll need to pass that first. Its pretty new among the broadcasters, and a lot less forgiving than previous machines. Music videos are especially prone to failing, for obviuos reasons.
    It can be a real ballache.

    Thanks J,

    One more question. Is closed captioning necessary for broadcast in the UK? I can find some BBC guidelines on the web, and they don’t mention closed captioning but I know the major music video stations in the US want it.

    thanks again,
    yo

    I’ve never had to with MTVUK. Unless they request it you shouldn’t have to worry about it….
    All the best.
