A multi track session

Your pilot – content & presentation
• Call CRN to discuss your idea• Guided by the codes of practice• Program length – do you need to send CRN
the entire show, or could you cherry-pick a segment?
• Drop weather, time call, local sponsorship announcements

OK - I’ve sent my pilot to CRN. What now?
![Page 17: Contributing to the Community Radio Network. What is CRN? The CBAA’s program distribution service – Delivering National Radio News The Wire Specialist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551afee65503462e578b50d3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The clock ticks, the days pass....
• The program will be assessed by CBAA staff and/or the Satellite Advisory Committee
• This can take some time• CRN staff will work with you on any aspects of
the presentation that require addressing• This can also take some time
![Page 18: Contributing to the Community Radio Network. What is CRN? The CBAA’s program distribution service – Delivering National Radio News The Wire Specialist.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551afee65503462e578b50d3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Success!
• CRN will start running your program• Publicity material required• Don’t expect 100 stations to use your content
immediately – it takes time to grow your audience
• Consistency, reliability, and interesting content helps!

DDN uploading
