Access to the Broadcasting Grids by Time Zone

Range of broadcast time per country

The amount of broadcast time per day for each country will be based on five key factors that are dynamically weighted:

1. Number of active countries within time zone 50%
2. Total minutes of minutes provided 20-30%
3. Population of the country or region 10-20%
4. Web activity from that country or region. 10-20%
5. Vetting of the content by web users. 10-20%

Daily Grid for all Broadcasts and Simulcasts

Overview: Each day has 24 hours or 168 hours per week, 336 half hours, or 10080 minutes that need to be simulcast and broadcast. each week

The Baseline Summary Schedule. The first hour to be programmed within each time zone is the 1800-1900 hour. That hour is always available each day to anyone, any where on the web, and it is the hour that is broadcast and simulcast with every time zone. Each time zone is programmed for one hour of programming.

The Variable Schedule. All programming is constantly vetted by people on the web and the best within each time zone gets automatically indexed for open broadcast slots throughout the entire 24-hour schedule.

This variable-scheduling function can preempt programming within a time zone's prime time if it is vetted and ranked above key thresholds.

This variable-scheduling function may also be used by stations to review highly-vetted programming for download and rebroadcast at any time throughout the day.

This variable-scheduling function may also be used by members to view programming that is scheduled for a later time in the day or programming that has already run.

Variable programming within each time zone is only related to the vetting activities on the web.

There are approximately 180 countries and 20 regions that will be invited. Each country could be allocated approximately 40 minutes per week; however, the amount of time will also be determined by the population size and four dynamics factors that have been explained.

The one-hour time slot: 1800 to 1900

Currently there are seven general production modalities:

1. Advertisements: 10, 15, 20, 30 seconds

2. Newscast Breaking: 30-60 seconds

3. Introductions: 1-2 minutes
4. Review and the Focus (leading pieces): 3-5 minutes
5. Leading Pieces - Short Profile: 10-12 minutes
6. Leading Pieces - Docudrama: 26 minutes

7. Leading Piece - Docudrama 55 minutes

Priority Topics

1. Businesses that are loved in their community for their ethics and generosity and are respected in their industry for their leadership, successes, and integrity.

2. The oldest businesses within a country or region.

3. The fast-growing businesses within a country or region.

There are seven time zones — 14-and-15, and 20-to-24 —- that will accomodate programming from those time zones with the most countries, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
