Promo, PSA and Calendar Guidelines:
- KPFA promos (Events, Station and Show) and PSAs need to be 30 seconds in length with 2 seconds of music at the start and at the end. We need 2 second handles on each side to allow us the freedom to crossfade between promos without cutting out a person’s voice. Instructions here.
- Community Calendars will need to be 1-minute in length. Also, there should be 2 second handles at the start and end for the same reason above. Instructions here.
- Any promos that “need” to be 1 minute must be pre-approved by the Operations and Programming Departments before it can air
