Deadline: Nov. 10, 2011: AIR's Localore
Oct 28, 2011 5:12 pm
DEADLINE FOR PRODUCER PROPOSALS AND STATION RUNWAY SUBMISSIONS:
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2011
It’s heating up. More stations are coming onto the Localore Station Runway this week and next…WLRN/Miami and WRVO/upstate New York are the latest to date. Producers, get busy watching them all and reaching out as you finesse your proposals to be one of the 10 selected to lead our station-based initiatives—designed to expand local innovation capacity. See which local outlet is right for you. We provide a contact link for you to be in touch with them on the station profile page.
Stations, keep your options open! Open the door to talent and see what comes in. You can name up to three potential producers. The sooner you get your media up, the more eyeballs you'll attract.
Guidelines are here (pdf). Take time to read them if you haven’t yet.
November 10: Deadline for proposals. If you'd like to be one of our lead Localore producers, that's when you must submit proposals for project ideas at Localore.net. By that same deadline, stations hoping to serve as Localore incubators must get media uploaded to our Station Runway.
December 2: Finalists notified. Up to 30 lead producers and incubator stations will be invited to submit a second-round proposal. Final teams will be announced by late January, and projects will begin launching in March.
