Each year, PBS 45 & 49 acquire school-use "rights" on behalf of our member schools for series that are part of the ITV broadcast schedule. We provide these rights so that you may videotape the broadcast programs and use them at more convenient times. The school-use rights are listed in this handbook as part of the ITV program listings section.
For those ITV series without extended school-use rights, the following usage guidelines apply:
-
Video recordings may be made only by students, teachers, faculty and staff members in an accredited, non-profit educational institution.
-
A program may be recorded off-air simultaneously with broadcast transmission and retained for a period not to exceed 45 calendar days. After such time, the program must be erased, or a royalty fee must be paid to the producer.
-
During the first ten consecutive school days in the 45-calendar-day retention period, off-air recordings may be used once by individual teachers in the course of teaching and repeated only when instructional reinforcement is necessary in classrooms and similar instruction areas.
-
After the first ten consecutive school days, all off-air recordings may be used until the end of the 45-calendar-day period for teacher evaluation purposes only.
-
Off-air recordings may be made only at the request of, and used by, individual teachers, and may not be regularly recorded in anticipation of requests.
-
Off-air recordings need not be used in their entirety, but they may not be altered or physically or electronically combined. The copyright notice must be retained as recorded from the broadcast program.
