NETWORK FORMAT INSTRUCTIONS

BILLBOARDS: Some segment billboards provide space for local credits. In those cases, indicated on the format (ex. :40 Network/:20 Local), the network will give title credits and network sponsors in the first portion of the billboard. The music bed will trail the remaining portion for insertion of local sponsor information, if desired.

STATION IDENTIFICATION: At the top of every hour there will be a 10-second pause for station identification. The cue will be “...Let’s pause 10 seconds for station identification on the Auburn Network.” A music bed will cover the 10-second hold and allow for local voice over.

CUES FOR LOCAL COMMERCIAL BREAKS: The cue for local breaks throughout the broadcast is “...this is the Auburn Network...”.

FIXED AND FLOATING POSITION SPOTS: The format has been laid out for FIXED and FLOATING position spots. The FLOATING position spots fall in play-by-play and are numbered spots #201 and up while FIXED spots are numbered #101 and up.

LOCAL ADJACENCY POSITIONS: There are a number of local adjacency breaks between programs throughout the broadcast. It is imperative that you begin the spot break at the proper cue in order to re-join the new network program on time. All local adjacency spot breaks will be cued from a billboard. The cue is “...this is the Auburn Network.” There will be no buffer music on these breaks to allow for more accurate cues.

MUSIC BUFFERS: All local spot breaks will have music buffers heading into the break EXCEPT all local adjacency breaks. All local spot breaks will also have music buffers coming out of breaks, with the exception of play-by-play breaks and end of quarter breaks.

FORMAT ADHERANCE: It is a requirement that you adhere to the format at all times. All network billboards and spot breaks are to air without interruption.

A NEW FORMAT will be sent to you for each game.

AN AFFIDAVIT OF PERFORMANCE is attached to each new format. It is to be filled out by the general manager after the broadcast and returned to the Auburn Network office.

FORMAT QUESTIONS: Questions about the format should be directed to the Auburn Network office during business hours at 334-826-2929 GAME DAY QUESTIONS may be answered by calling 334-826-9239.

IMPORTANT NOTES

NETWORK IDENTIFIER: 20 minutes prior to airtime, the network will begin a pre-recorded identifier. This will provide you with game information and airtime confirmation.

TIME CHECKS: Beginning 11 minutes prior to airtime, the network board operator will give a live time check. Time checks will follow every minute leading up to airtime. Tone will be fed down the line until 30 seconds prior to airtime when the network will go silent until airtime.

TIGER TALK TIME CHECK: The countdown for Thursday evening’s Tiger Talk shows will begin at 11 minutes prior to airtime. Time checks will follow every minute prior to airtime. Tone will be fed down the line until 30 seconds prior to airtime when the network will go silent until airtime.

TIME CHANGES: Check the cover page of the weekly format booklet to confirm the correct airtime. If you have questions about the correct airtime, call the Auburn Network office during the week at (334) 826-2929. On game day, call (334) 826-9239.
