Q: I have uploaded a video, why haven't I received a response?

If you have not heard from us after 14 days, then please email our production team: info@KentTV.com.
Q: How long will it take before my video appears on Kent TV?
A: There are a number of processes that videos go through before they are live on the channel.

Q: Why has my video been rejected?
A: Kent TV is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be viewed by anyone, at any time. This means that videos may be accessed by younger children. Kent TV is therefore subject to the OFCOM regulations and has a responsibility to its viewers to ensure that all videos can be viewed safely by all age groups and will not be found offensive to others. If your video contains swearing, extreme violence or features content deemed unsuitable for pre-watershed broadcast, then your video may be censored or rejected. If you have had a video rejected and wish to question this decision, then please email our production team: info@KentTV.com Please let us know the title of your video, and when it was sent to us.
