Bands! Labels!

You can submit music videos for broadcast consideration to AUX’s Program Planner, Chayne Japal.

We accept closed-captioned HD music videos in .mxf, .mov or .mp4 file formats. AUX is also set up for digital delivery via Bitmax and DMDS.

Producer Guidelines

If you want to submit an idea for a television series, you’ve also come to the right place.

STORYTELLING
Our viewers expect a high-level of engagement in the programs they watch. They want to watch interesting people doing interesting things, or have unique access into special worlds. Shooting and characters should be vibrant, energetic and active. We don’t want shows to be “lessons” but rather once-in a lifetime journeys where viewers take away an awesome experience. Shows can be playful, scary, serious or fun, but all connect with the viewer’s basic human curiosity.

PITCHING PROCESS
All submissions must be accompanied by a Blue Ant submission form.

We require a 2-3 page proposal that clearly outlines what the program is about. Please do not submit pages of research about a subject. We want the proposal to answer the following questions:

– What is the show about? What is the hook? What makes this unique?
– What will happen each episode?
– Who are the main characters or hosts? And what makes them ideal to tell these stories?
– What makes this a series that has the potential to continue for many seasons?
– What is the shooting and editing style?
– Who is the production team?
– What is the budget range?

DEMOS ARE PREFERRED:
A demo is THE best way to quickly show us your characters, their world and the vibe of your idea. It doesn’t need to be long – a couple minutes tops. All proposals and demos will be reviewed by our programming team. If declined, you’ll receive notification by e-mail.

FINANCING
Please include a finance plan with your submission. Blue Ant Media has a CMF envelope which may be applied to qualifying projects. We can only accept proposals for Blue Ant owned channels.
