All commercials and billboards must conform to the public and industry advertising standards and to the programming and operating policies of NBCUniversal.

Commercials and billboards must comply with NBCUniversal’s technical standards.

In no event shall NBCUniversal be liable for the contents of a commercial in its telecast.

All material must use SMPTE "drop-frame" time code.

Only the commercials that are scheduled on the final playlist will be ingested for air. All commercials will be ingested ‘as is’ despite audio or visual discrepancies. Agencies will be notified of On-Air discrepancies.

The placement and designation of commercial positioning shall be determined solely by NBCUniversal network & cable properties.

To help advertisers reach the largest possible audience, NBCUniversal recommends commercial content with closed captioning (CC) and audio description service (AD). CC and AD should be in the same language as the primary audio track. For questions about technical specifications or instructions, please consult your vendor.

To submit a spot:

• Create an account with one of the vendors listed.

• Upload your spot(s) to that vendor using their required specifications.

• Once your spot(s) has passed their internal QC process, submit an “Order for delivery” and select the appropriate network or Englewood Cliffs as the delivery location.
