WHYY Content Submission Form

WHYY accepts completed films for co-production or presentation consideration. Our television schedule is a delicate balance of national programming, budget considerations and discretionary airtime, so we may not be able to find a place for your program but will give it our full attention. Before you send your film, please review the WHYY Guidelines Summary below so you are aware of the requirements your program must follow to be considered for broadcast.

WHYY receives many program submissions each month, so please be patient and allow at least four to six weeks as we review your film and decide whether it is something we can fit into our local broadcast schedule.
