SHOW-HOSTS
UPLOADS & GALLERY

 
 
1.) Every show host has their own Gallery.

The purpose of the Show Gallery is communication between the show host and the AV Techs.  The Gallery is utilized to upload images, text files or video for use during any show or for Archived Shows impression Ads or Commercials.  Every effort has been made to create a system that is simple to use.  It is however, a technical system that has very little room for error.  To avoid incurring additional fees, please take time to become familiar with the system. 
 

This Gallery grows as new images are uploaded and becomes the archive for all images uploaded on a per-host basis.

Here is what a Gallery looks like: SOLUTIONS TO AGING-Show Gallery  

NOTE: You can only view your files, you cannot edit or delete any. However, you can download any file, edit it and re-upload the new file, keeping the old one by re-naming the new one or replacing the existing file. Send us instructions to delete/replace.

2.)  Upload System for your use

Here is the link to upload your files: HOSTS UPLOAD PAGE  < You MUST HAVE a User-Name+Password to use our system. Once you have entered a valid user/pass the page loads...


The Upload link is for  files up to 4.5 GIGS:
(a standard 128 kilobits per second 1-hour Audio CD in MP3 is around 60 MB).

You can send up to 20-picture/image files in one upload or as example; 4-MP3 audio files and 1-text document explaining what these MP3 files are, their full text description and what we are to do with them. This is the only type of text file you should tag along/send when uploading audio files.

MP3 AUDIO and VIDEO Files
Commercials, Liners, Cross-Promos, etceteras

rfw-shows@twm-showhosts.com

* Do not use these email addresses (at any other time) to send us emails. No one can retrieve mail from the above email addresses, they are coded for us to know the STATION (Channel) which hosts you, such as isys-shows= I SPEAK YOU SPEAK Multimedia Network, bwr-shows = Body Wonders Radio, twr-shows = Tropic Wave Radio,  etc.

* You do not communicate with us using EMAIL, you create text documents (.txt or .rtf or .doc  files), upload them in the standard upload system making sure to also name/date each file properly as outlined below, just as you do for images/ads.


3.) Uploading files larger than 20 MB: you should do that when you are ready to take a break and walk away from your PC. Depending on your upload bandwidth (ISP - limited based on your service), sending a 50 MB file as example can take an hour or longer where you may not have all the resources on your PC (depending upon your RAM etc) to allow you to continue working on your PC "and" upload these large files "at the same time" !    If uploading very large files, do it at night when you are ready to go to bed, just turn off your Monitor if you do not have it set for a blank screen saver.

4.A.) How to NAME a Document/Image FILE: Filenames for Text (.doc) documents and images (jpg/gif/png) should be configured as follows;

04-18-2008_goji-juice_1.jpg  <  mm-dd-year_ (underscore) name-of-image-or-document
(each word separated by a hyphen) _ (underscore) 1 ( numeral 1,2,3,4,5 etc ONLY IF YOU ARE SENDING MORE THAN ONE VERSION OF THE SAME IMAGE on same date) . (dot)  gif (file extension)  [gif, jpg, png]

Keep filenames short - they are NOT the description, it is the name of the image only. Examples:

04-18-2008_goji-juice_1.jpg  

04-15-2008_mango-juice.gif 

NOTE : In your Text/DOC file (Show Detail Sheet) which you also upload, you would list the images with instructions;

04-15-2008_mango-juice.jpg  AD runs: 04/28 to 08/13. Link to: http://www.besthealthproducts.org
Description: Johnny Carson drinking Goji from a Pineapple.

For internet purposes, ALL lower case IS "preferrable".   

The Description can be a LONG NAME in Upper and Lower case : (example) This is picture of Patti Benjamin and BJ Matthews at the Academy Awards in Hollywood December 25, 2004 when I received the nomination for Best Actress of the year.

IMAGE SIZE: Images MUST BE no smaller than 250x250 pixels and should be 500X500 or can be LARGER.

We will optimize your images and can DOWNSIZE THEM if they are larger, but we cannot size UP an image less than 250.

 

4.B.) How to NAME an Audio/Video FILE:   Filenames for audio and video clips/commercials/shows should be configured as follows;

IMPORTANT: when naming audio/video files, there is a change/difference-REVERSE because of certain software requirements!

USE ALL "lower case" and start with the show name (not show-host, and no guest) abbreviated:

A  "show" called Raw Health Talk would be named like this:   rht_04-23-2008.mp3

The Description would read:  Raw Health Talk with Host Dave Klein and guest Mary Smith talking about her new book SECRETS TO BETTER LIVING.

If you are sending a 30-second Goji commercial for Journey To Wellness show,
it would be named: jtw_30-sec_comm_02-17-2009.mp3

Videos are named whatever filenames you have created them in. They do not have to have DATES if you cannot or do not know how-to do this. Just upload a document and refer to the exact video file.

NOTE ON DATES: A Date is the date something is created and/or the date you are working on files to upload.

* Click "Show Advanced Options"  and use (copy to paste) the appropriate email address based on the STATION CHANNEL
 your show is hosted, such as:

hth-shows@twm-showhosts.com<> twr-shows@twm-showhosts.com <>

rfw-shows@twm-showhosts.com <> wcmn-shows@twm-showhosts.com <> etceteras.  

[ Note: ENTER IN THE PASSWORD FIELD> The link password - is : upload  ] 

FOR YOUR GUESTS ONLY - A Show Host can give out this email address for guests you have booked to appear on your show so they can send their pictures direct if you/the host is very busy or prefer they send their pictures direct to us versus sending to you and you uploading them:  showguestpictures@twm-showhosts.com 

5.) How to know your images are ready for the next show: When you upload files to us, they are NOT automatically placed in your Gallery. When we have optimized your files, we place them there and that is how you will know your files made it in time for a show. When your files appear in your Gallery, it means we have worked on that specific upload.  If your images are NOT in your Gallery, they will not be available for your show/date. Check your Gallery always a minimum of 24-hours before a show and normally, within 48-hours of uploading to us. We require 7-days prior to display, with the minimum of 4-days as a DEADLINE or your images will not be ready for your show-date.

6.) Impression Ads/Commercials:  If you want any images you've uploaded to not only appear during your show, but also in your Archived Show Players, where you want certain Ads ran for "x" time duration, or you sold an audio commercial with an impression Ad etceteras, you MUST upload a SEPARATE text file (can be done at another time, does not have to be at same upload of images) with complete instructions in a "show-detail sheet" indicating the image(s) [ list the images filenames ] or MP3 files [ which you uploaded ] are impression ads or commercials you want to run FROM: date <> TO: date.  Each Show host receives "x" FREE impressions (see your agreement document), normally you use the free ones to advertise yourself, your website, and special people - then you sell impression or commercial ads to make money. This feature is governed by THE STATION/CHANNEL OWNER as to how many free, and how much (cost) to advertise on your show. 

7.) HELP - if you have a question or any issue - upload a text file marked URGENT as follows:

04-22-2008_URGENT-NEED_How-do-I-do-this-function.doc

Since TEXT FILES LIKE THIS is not used in any link but are instructions documents, you can use Upper Case in .txt or .doc files to perhaps CONVEY any urgency or make your file stand out in your mind or ours. We use the contents (inside) of these files and files them by DATE, so as long as the DATE comes first, you "can" use upper here in these instances. If this is sent on the SAME DAY as the show you need a change/update, THEN CALL: 321-253-9287 press-7, leave a short message (if no human answers) simply stating your name, phone number, show name, and that you sent an urgent email. Then Hang up.

You can also try the TECH LINE: (321) 775-1349. Use this only for HELP.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

We require 7 days posting/updates notice, with a minimum deadline of 4-days shortest notice.

If same day, a charge of $15.00 PER instruction function will be automatically billed to you
without further warning notice. Failure to pay will result in shows being TERMINATED.
 
ONLY IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY - death of a show-host/co-host, Host or Guest sick, lost voice,
Acts of GOD (whatever they may be) - then we will work with a host or channel owner, but
that is an EXCEPTION and NOT "the norm" and an EXPLANATION MUST ACCOMPANY any such requests
or changes. Use this email addy to send such 11th-hour request changes: 
For 11th hour requests : twm-tech@twm-showhosts.com

IF a show-host does not log into our CHAT ROOM by the top of the hour, we must assume you are in a car accident or some other major reason for your NO SHOW. We will run a prior show in your clock and you pay for the show. If a host is late by up to max of 10-minutes and requests we break into the recorded show airing, we will accommodate but your show will be shorter and there will be an editing charge to convert your show into an instant replay and archive.  We suggest you call us or have someone call AND Log into the chat room to notify us if you will be late. It is a given that if you are in an accident or similar, we simply air one of your prior shows and if you are incapacitated or death in your immediate family, there will be no charge for that show.

IF YOU ARE NOT COMPUTER LITERATE AND WOULD PREFER - YOU CAN SEND CD's VIA USPS INSTEAD OF USING OUR UPLOAD SYSTEM. CD's and DVD's can contain your audio-video files and we will name the files properly for you.
