Shorts! Shorts! Shorts!

We usually receive programs that are from between 30 minutes and 2 hours. However in the last six months MTN has received an INFLUX of programs just over the 30 second mark. THANKS! MTN is ready for all kinds of your programming and a minute is just as important as 30. Don't forget that if you are a non-profit or know of a non-profit that could use some airtime to talk about an upcoming project or event, MTN offers a great deal with our Studio C.

and Stand-Alones!!!

The programming department has received so many new Stand-Alone programs this year and it is GREAT! We love receiving programs for Series slots on our channels but there really is something special about a Stand-Alone. With a Stand-Alone you are open to turn in everything from a SHORT to a 2 hour program about your favorite topic. Keep sending those Stand-Alones our way, we are always awaiting your latest project!
