Current TV is tweaking their process for acquiring Viewer Created Content (or VC2). They are increasing their rewards for those segments used on-air, and they have created a straight-forward training guide to help producers get their materials ready for "prime time".
Current Studio // VC2 Survival Guide
They describe the pay scale as follows in the Studio Blog:
"Based on the quality of the pieces that we’ve licensed to date, we’ve decided that we want to reward producers with more monetary incentives and visibility at a faster rate. As a result, we are collapsing and increasing the VC2 payscale. Beginning today, if we option your first VC2 pod from the Studio, you will be paid $500. The second piece is also at $500. Your third piece is at $750 and your fourth piece is at $1000. You also get new titles (plus an additional square!) and more visibility as you move up the scale. Check out the graphic here. When your second piece airs, we’ll do an interview with you published in the Online Studio and in our monthly newsletter to our extended Current community. With your third piece, we’ll do an on-air interview with you – both of these interviews are optional, but will give you and your work even more exposure. Finally, by your fourth piece, you will receive a guaranteed commission.
"Current promos and raw footage will not be part of this incentive program and will be paid at a flat rate of $250. Just to be clear, promos generally run 10-15 seconds and incorporate our logo. Raw footage is just unedited jaw dropping footage".
