by **Kyrashia** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:23 pm

Full Name of Nation: The Theocracy of Kyrashia
Name of TV Series: Hinduism and Buddhism with Buddha and Friends
Type of TV Series: This TV series aims to introduce children worldwide to the Hinduist and Buddhist religions with Buddha and his friends going on fun adventures to interest and captivate children, while also educating them about Hinduism and Buddhism.
Channel You Wish for It to Be Placed On: Chiddies
Episode Length (30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes): 30 Minutes
Age Restriction: No Official Restriction
Other Comments or Concerns: We are concerned about the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation's policy on religious education shows such as this, as we acknowledge not all nations and corporations wish to have Religious programming on their channels.

by **Kyrashia** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:33 pm

In addition to our programming application for Hinduism and Buddhism with Buddha and Friends we would like permission to release our show not only on your channel but on our own private media streaming service designed specifically for the show, to provide games, facts, and additional media as well as allowing streaming of full episodes of the TV show free of charge.

Our main concern is that this may conflict with the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation's media redistribution policies.

To Whom It May Concern

I have received your application for airing the program Hinduism and Buddhism with Buddha and Friends on Chiddies.

Before we approve of this program, we need to ask a few things:

We need to know if the program is aimed between the ages of 3-6 or 7-10, we need to know this due to the fact that Chiddies broadcasts programming at different times depending on the audience it's aimed at, and we do not wish to schedule it at the wrong time.

Second, while we have no issue with airing a religious education program, the only requirement is that a small, semi-transparent R|E (standing for Religious Education, with the words Religious Education appearing below the R|E during the first 60 seconds of the program) appears in the corner of the screen during the program. We ask if doing this would be acceptable during the broadcasting on your program.

Finally, your desire to stream episodes of the series on it's own website does not conflict with the media distribution policies of the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation, as our policies only apply to streaming programming while using our branding.

We hope that you respond soon to these questions so your program can, potentially, begin airing on the Chiddies network.

Signed,

Alexander Johnston
Chairman of the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation

हिमालय से नमस्ते!

The Program Hinduism and Buddhism with Buddha and Friends for which we have requested permission to air on Chiddies, is aimed at children from 3-6 years old, however we understand that religion can be more mature subject matter and thus we leave it up to the discretion of the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation to decide whether to air it to 7-10 Years or 3-6 Years.

We fully consent to having the Religious Education symbol placed in the corner of the program.

I have received your application for airing the program Police Camera Action on GBN International. Unfortunately, this program has been rejected from airing on GBN International.

We apologize for the inconvienence and if you have any questions, please do not hestitate to ask.

Dear GBN,

why was our programming rejected for GBN International?

Did it not fit the target demographic?

We also have other shows available, if you would like more info.

TO: James Hollingdale, ITV1 Astholm
FROM: Alexander Johnston, Chairman of the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation

To Mr. Hollingdale,
We do apologize for not having explained the reasoning for the rejecting of Police, Camera, Action on GBN International. The reason that the program was rejected was the scheduling you desired for the series. While the GBC maintains the rights to schedule programming that it has airs in timeslots it desires, we also have no issues with licensors suggesting appropriate timeslots for their program, and we would try to get it to air on or near that timeslot. (Nor do we have any issues with programming airing more than once, but we try and limit programs to airing no more than three times a day, with some exceptions)

Unfortunately, the timeslots you suggested were unworkable for the channel GBN International, for several reasons, which shall be explained: for your schedule suggestion of showing a double bill of your program at 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM was unworkable because the hour from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM on GBN International currently broadcasts repeats of the series The Professor, which is one of the longest running TV series produced by the GBC, so you can understand that we would not reschedule that. In addition, your schedule suggestion for repeat double bills at 7:50 AM and 8:15 AM and 1:40 PM and 2:10 PM were also unworkable for two reasons: the first reasoning being that none of the channels ran by the GBC, whether they are broadcast in Gandoor or our international networks schedules programming at "off-times", instead opting to broadcast shows either at the half hour or the hour. The second reasoning being that those timeslots already have programming that airs during those times, both programming from the GBC itself and from foreign companies.

We do apologize for the inconvenience and we also apologize that, as you may or may not have noticed, the schedule for GBN International is all but full, with the only timeslots that do not have programming scheduled being the hours from 2:00 AM until 7:00 AM, so there really would not be an "appropriate" timeslot on GBN International's schedule that would be appropriate for your program (as we would not just randomly shove a program at a late night timeslot to die). However, we will point out that the channel GBN International 2, which only recently began to accept broadcasting rights for programming, has an open schedule with plenty of timeslots for Police, Camera, Action or any other program you or any company wishes to air.

We do hope that this explains the reasoning for the rejection of the airing of Police, Camera, Action on GBN International and, again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Signed,

Alexander Johnston
Chairman of the Gandoor Broadcasting Corporation

This should not be dubbed; subtitles can be used if English is not the main language.

It can be aired as a double-bill if there are 2 30-minute episodes (unless it is a 60 minute episode, in which case, only 1 is necessary).

It is also advisable to repeat it too, as the show gets very high ratings, some even higher than reality TV shows.

We also offer international versions of the episodes if requested, information is available on request. Note that these international variants may differ in content to the UK (Astholm) version, but the presenter(s) remain the same.

The timeslots mentioned were suggested, rather than implied.

I hope this of interest to you, and if you would like any more of our programming, do not hesitate to ask.
