Automated delivery is easy to use, saves time and is a cost effective solution for delivering your shows to stations. If you're interested in delivering your daily or weekly program via PRX's automated delivery system, please get in touch!
Read on for more information about this service.
Cost
Automated delivery costs the program's producer $100 per primary station per year for a weekly series (no cost for repeaters and translators). Please reach out to our helpdesk at help@prx.org for cost of daily and hourly series.
PRX will divide the cost into 12 payments and charge your credit card monthly.
Promos
Each episode can have promos delivered with or before the episode audio. In order to make sure we have the right promos, we need to know how many files to expect, and how long they will be in total.
Episode Audio
Each episode has to have at least one segment of audio, and may be broken up into multiple segments/audio files (e.g. a billboard file, news hole, segment 1, music break 1, segment 2, etc.).
Some programs will upload more than one version, such as a segmented version and a single-file version.
