Broadcasters FAQ - don't forget to read the Guidelines

What kind of things can I ask for?
Pretty much anything, within reason. Why not describe the format of your show, or perhaps what has worked in the past. The content providers have signed up to help you with the creative process - it's in their interest to understand your needs and then offer suitable content, guests, material, etc. You may need an expert on a certain topic - simply state that requirement and see what happens. You may want to mark an event/anniversary/birthday - again, make that clear and let the content providers brainstorm the possibilities.

Am I going to get flooded with suggestions and offers of help I can't use?
No, because not only can you choose how content providers contact you, always remember that these people are professionals, they have jobs to do! Unless they think there's a good chance of you both working together they probably won't get in touch at all. If you want to consider offers of help at your leisure ask content providers to contact you via email. If you need something in a hurry, why not give your station's phone/fax number?

Can I simply ask for prizes for my show? I'm not really bothered what they are as long as they're flash.
We're afraid not. We'd much rather you have more specific requests as this will work best for you and the content providers. Don't forget, the content providers are looking for requests for which they have something in mind. They are far more likely to respond to a request for sports content to tie in with an up-and-coming sporting event, for example. However, properly presented general requests may be distributed to content providers on very special occasions - just explain why it's such a special case!

I've registered as a content provider - now how do I send my pitches to broadcasters?
Click on the PITCH! link you'll find at the top right of most pages. Once you've entered your username and password you'll reach the submission page. Consider bookmarking that page for future reference.

Can I submit a list of my clients and ask broadcasters to contact me if any of them are of interest?
We're afraid not. Content providers can submit pitches regarding specific clients and what they have to offer. They can even submit these more than once - but within reason! We will filter out any submissions which come in too often. And besides, the best way to make the most of ReachRadio is to sell broadcasters on the idea that your content is extra special - they are far more likely to respond to offers that have resulted from a little creative brainstorming.

How soon will my pitch go out to the broadcasters?
A round-up of pitches will be issued once a week, but particularly time-sensitive pitches (and broadcaster requests for content) may be issued as and when they are filed.
