When will the new site be fully operational?
An early launch of the site occurred in late November 2018, and you are using it right now. It is still in a transitional state, which means that the Legacy site is still in operation while we move functionality to the new site. Please check the station news on the home page to see the latest developments. We hope to have most of the core functions running by the end of the year, with Scheduling and Online streaming being ready in the first quarter of 2019.
I'm a Producer - where are all the tools and links that I need?
This site is intended to be used by the public in general. All Producer specific tools and pages are now located at the Producer Site
How do we communicate when there are issues?
For non-producer communication, the best method to contact us is to send us a message. We monitor these throughout the day. Producer related communications should be done from the appropriate area of the Producer site.
We will address station issues as soon as we are aware of the problem. We do receive automatic notification when the station goes down. But if you notice something that may be affecting the channel, call us and email us. See the contact information below. Please note we will deal with technical issues with individual shows as soon as possible during work hours. If we notice issues with your show files, we will let you know as soon as possible.
I've Got Some Cool YouTube Videos. Will You Download Them And Play Them On Your Channel Please?
No.
If you live in Seattle/King County you can become a member-producer, follow the steps to uploading programming and schedule your programs yourself.
If you live outside of Seattle/King County, you must find a sponsor who DOES live in Seattle/King County who will do all of these things with your cool YouTube videos for you.
SCM is public access provided for the people of Seattle and King County. If you live outside Seattle/King County and do not have a sponsor we will NOT broadcast your cool YouTube videos or any other videos you have produced.
Can I Broadcast My Programs If I Live Outside of Seattle or King County?
You must live in Seattle or King County to become a member of Seattle Community Media.
If you live outside of Seattle/King County you must find someone who DOES live in Seattle/King County to become a member and then sponsor your program.
SCM does not help in arranging sponsors for programs.
