Maximum and minimum number of hours you can retransmit on my channel:
The maximum is continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The minimum is at least one continuous 4-hour block of programming per week.

Recording and time-shifting of programming:
No recording or time-shifting is allowed. UWTV's schedule has been developed to offer time flexibility by repeating blocks over the course of 24 hours. Typically, the blocks run about 4-6 hours each, with repeats that could air after the broadcast of the first block. Time-shifting would create confusion for viewers who read the on-air UWTV schedule of programs, as the time-shift would not coordinate with these schedules.

Your station identification:
UWTV programming council requires that the transmitted signal be carried as a whole. It is recommended that station breaks occur before and after the transmitted programming blocks.

Breaking into the UWTV signal for station identification:
Stations can break into a UWTV programming block for local specials provided the break occurs before a UWTV program begins or after the completion of a program.

Break ins for specials or commercials:
Specials: Stations can break into a UWTV programming block for local specials provided the break occurs before a UWTV program begins or after the completion of a program.

Commercials:
UWTV is a non commercial programming service and prohibits the insertion of commercials within programming blocks.

We use an automated system. How can I be sure we switch to a UWTV block at the correct time?
UWTV uses the GPS clock system, and you can synchronize your system with it to ensure switching at the correct time.
