Where and how your ad airs

Channel 01 and Canal 02

The public channels at gilabendlive.com/channel and /canal show your ad full screen in a labeled commercial break. Video plays with sound only when a viewer turns sound on.

Host screen format

At confirmed host locations, screens show a full-screen still without sound. Video ads use their still image there, so send a 1920 × 1080 still with every video. Placement depends on confirmed locations.

Rotation

Ads air between local segments. Bronze runs every 3 channel loops, Silver every 2, and Gold every loop. Loop length varies with the current programming.

Design for a screen across the room

Keep a safe margin

Keep words, logos and phone numbers at least 96 px from every edge.

Go big and short

Headline at least 100 px tall, other text at least 50 px. Aim for seven words or fewer, in a bold font with strong contrast.

Work without sound

Most viewers watch muted and host screens are silent. Put the key message, and captions for any speech, on screen.

One clear next step

Show one way to reach you — phone, address or website — and keep it on screen long enough to read.

Ads may not imitate an emergency alert, a news bulletin, a road sign or a traffic signal.

Review, timing and reporting

  • Every ad is checked automatically and some get a quick look from a person.
  • Ready-made ads are usually on the air the same day. Ads we make for you are usually ready in 1–2 days.
  • Ad changes: Silver includes 1 update a month, Gold includes 2.
  • Play reports come from our device logs. We never present plays as people counted.

Ad rules

Local businesses only. Not allowed: political or immigration ads, alcohol, smoke or vape shops, cannabis, weapons, payday loans or crypto, adult content, or health claims. Paid content is always labeled, and news coverage is never for sale. We may decline any ad that doesn't fit the community.
