What if it's beeped out? The cursing or replaced as they do in some tv movies? You can always film the scene twice once clean and once normal... You know?

Wesley, before I go any further; are you serious about sending in any material? Are you a serious filmmaker? I don’t mean to be rude but if you just want to nickel and dime me about the rules, I don’t have time for it.

If you’re serious, I don’t mind taking the time or even doing research. I like to help out as much as I can. That said, my entertainment background is originally in music. I’ve organized or co-organized musical entertainment for everything from clubs to charity events to special events to political campaigns. I’ve dealt with a lot of artists. There are always those who want to break the rules; those who think that anything must be allowed in order to be art.

Wesley, there are so many envelopes that need to be pushed, so many boundaries that need to be stretched other than obscenity. I hope you don’t think that profanity in any way equates to artistry. Art is about truth. Yes, people use profanity in real life, but people do a lot of things other than curse as well.

With that said, to answer your question, submissions cannot have bleeps. You can cut the audio on profanity or dub it over with a word acceptable for broadcast. Whichever way you choose but it must be edited by you. As stated in the original post, we will not edit your work. We only want to air the artist’s version of their work. However, it must fall within our guidelines. That much is non negotiable.

Art is in the work itself, I am not just asking questions for the hell of it.

How long will this station be open? Like long term goals and aspirations for it.

I’m not sure what you mean by the word “open.” The station will be on air as long as it’s licensed or until the company goes broke.

We have licenses, permits, or applications in several other areas and we are always looking for other stations that may become available elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest. There will eventually be other stations with KWVT being the company’s flagship station.

We also plan to transition to digital as well as our current Analog broadcast since Analog will eventually be replaced by digital. I’m not too into the technical stuff so I hope I said that right.

As a local station serving a local area, of course, our first commitment is to our viewers here. Our station regularly broadcasts local events and is involved in the local community. Much of this is covered at the website.

As far as long term goals, we have many. Perhaps too many to say and some I’m not allowed to say. I can tell you this. We’re very interested in producing original programming. We’re working on a deal with a news group to provide a news program and we’re looking at attaining a studio that can be used to produce original programming. At this stage, plans are often introduced, changed, shot down by budget constraints, new ones introduced, old ones reintroduced, etc.

I’m personally very committed to art and have presented a lot (and I mean a LOT) of ideas. I’ve pushed very hard to lay the groundwork for producing our own programming. We hope to produce original series’ and original movies one day.

We do aspire to make it onto satellite one day and gain a much larger viewership. That will be a LONG way into the future. Years. We are by no means a big time station. Submitting work to us will, at this stage, get you nothing but a bunch of people in the northwest of America looking at your work.

Thanks for answering my questions, I got no more until next year for now anyway.
