UCTV does require that affiliate channels transmit its signal live as it comes off the satellite. This insures that UCTV's promotional efforts at the local level, including in your market, are consistent with its national promotions. This also preserves the utility and accuracy of UCTV's extensive on-line program schedule.
UCTV programs in 3 hour thematic program blocks. Although there is no "minimum air time" requirement, we suggest that you utilize these program blocks when incorporating UCTV into your local schedule. (View the 24-hour Program Grid.)
