Let KACN Television Play Your Videos Throughout Alaska!

We Want Your Videos! In addition to programming produced by staff and presentations from other Alaska producers, KACN-TV partners with professional and amateur video producers seeking distribution of their presentations statewide.

The KACN- TV staff is always seeking both one- time and ongoing-programming content from producers and individuals in urban and rural areas of Alaska.

If it has to do with Alaskans, it has a home on KACN-TV!

But we are also looking for interesting content from around the world.  From cartoon animations to band profiles and concerts, from hard hitting documentaries to independently produced movies, we are interested.  We are also especially interested in content that pushes the mind to new horizons.  This includes cutting edge science, ethics and philosophical talks and presentations (think TED Talks), and ranges to how to videos on most anything: from how to make a composting toilet, or how to improve your pool game, to cleaning up your hard drive to make your computer operate more smoothly.

Of course, we must adhere to the FCC Broadcasting Regulations, meaning that all content must be free of vulgarity and the 7 deadly no-no words (bleeping out such content can work—but you will have to do the editing).

Currently, KACN-TV broadcasts programs such as the Alaska Report, Exploring Alaska, SPLASH, Southeast Spotlight, Elders and Youth Conference, WEIO, Northwest Indian News, World Affairs, and COLOURS TV Network.  Also aired are and many additional programs such as KACN-TV NEWS AND VIEWS, YOUTH SPEAKS (youth confronting alcohol, tobacco and drug abuse), My HERO (Featuring Elders nominated by Youth), Game of the Week, Youth Academic Bowl, 21st Century Learn, Earn and Service Academy, Alaska Palooza, A Taste of Alaska, Battle of the Bands and many others.

KACN-TV is always open to broadcasting cultural, educational, informative and entertaining programming.  The KACN-TV staff prides itself on its exemplary work with Native and rural organizations, in addition to educational businesses that seek to provide local and statewide distribution of interactive shows.  KACN-TV can and will provide telecourses, in-service training, dissemination of school events, and community information about schools, block programming and similar services at the lowest possible cost.

To Submit Your Video Productions for Statewide Viewing:

If you wish to share your content with us, we first need to collect some information from you.  Of course we need your contact information, so we can follow up with you by phone and email.  We also need to know a bit about the video, title, description, playing time, and file format.

Finally we need to be sure you have the rights to share the video with us, and we need to know if we need to limit our sharing to our broadcast/cable/sattelite distrubution within Alaska, or if we can also feature it, or a preview of it, on demand this website.

A bit about formatting:

We prefer video in standard resolution MPEG-2 format–because that’s how we broadcast, but can work with other formats.  We can play HD quality on our website, but we need an NTSC standard resolution version for television broadcast.  Giving us any format other than MPEG-2 means we will have to convert the video, which is time consuming, and can result in imperfect re-rendering.  To ensure the video plays as you mean it to, you probably want to do the file conversions yourself.

Pruduction Credits and Links

All submissions we play will be fully credited with information via the appropriate listing on our Calendar pages, with links back to the contributor’s email and/or website as applicable.  In turn, we ask that you post a link back to our website as well.

Okay, that about sums it up.  If you are ready to submit your video, please click the link to fill out our Video Submission Contact Form.
