Producer Resources

Create your own show!

KMVT 15 Silicon Valley Community Media exists so that ANYONE can produce their own show. No prior experience is needed! Here at KMVT we have two kinds of producers: ACCESS or IMPORT

KMVT Access Producer

An ACCESS Producer is a resident of Mountain View, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, or Sunnyvale, that is an active member at KMVT15, and produces content with resources we provide for the community at large.

If you have an idea for a new TV Show, or want to produce short films, documentaries, or even your own movie, become a KMVT Access Producer! We’ll help you create, plan, and produce your own project.

To become a KMVT 15 Community Access Producer you must complete our Producer Training Workshops. The price of the first class covers one year of an active membership at KMVT! If you are planning to shoot outside of the studio you can also sign up for our complementary Field Production workshop after completing the introductory courses.

As an ACCESS Producer, your programs will air on KMVT 15 on Comcast Channel 15 and AT&T Uverse Channel 99 and YouTube. In addition to the training courses and membership, please complete the following items:

1. Submit Access User Application
2. Review the “Community Access User’s Guide“
3. Access Producer Statement of Compliance Form
4. Once your training is complete, you may start checking out equipment, booking studio time, and recruiting crew from the KMVT crew database. To produce your show:
5. Schedule a studio slot and plan your show
6. Submit your show to the station for airing on Comcast and ATT!

Import Producer

An IMPORT Producer is a resident of a city outside of KMVT15’s normal operation who wishes to bring their content to air on KMVT15.

An import producer creates the show either at another studio or with their own equipment. KMVT 15 takes in import programs once you have filed the proper paperwork and paid your import producer fee. Then submit your content to air on our distribution channels . Most station offer this as a service to their communities.
