Due to limited space and available broadcast time, messages will be posted on a first-come first-serve broadcast basis. Please let us know the beginning and ending dates for the posting. Be aware that events are posted no earlier than 21 days from the beginning day of the event. No organization can post more than 4 slides per month – 1 permanent mission slide and 3 event slides that can be changed on a monthly basis.
All postings are subject to approval by LCTV.
