CPB, PRX, and KDHX
KDHX provides a few seasons of syndication content per year as a part of our agreement with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, our affiliate and licensor, AKA CPB, yes, the same org that brought you Sesame Street, the Electric Company, and Mr. Rogers.
As a radio network broadcaster, CPB requests that affiliate stations like KDHX help each other out by way of utilizing CPB funds to create and distribute mutually useful and fresh programming from stations that have an excess to those who could use it. This exchange is literally handled via the Public Radio Exchange, or PRX, an online depository and download center used to distribute all kinds of audio content, including your favorite NPR and KDHX programs. See for yourself here: KDHX Content on PRX

Production Process
When a Show application is approved for production, the producer will begin by preparing the playlists for the program in Spinitron, targeting a future date for actual broadcast on KDHX. The playlists begin the process of gathering content, song by song, in WAV format. Support for this process will be provided.
Show IDs and verbal announcing can be prepared in real time in studio if the DJ prefers, but need not be. All may be recorded individually, and assembled in digital editing software with the support of a production department engineer.
Series produced by KDHX for PRX distribution follow this semi-standard syndication format:
- 2 Hours of programming, separated at the 20s (6 segments)
- WAV files of KDHX originated, copyright covered, and released material (no web or TV recordings)
- Files delivered in sequential order
- IDs are generic in their nature, crediting show host and show name specifically, and KDHX not as broadcaster but as production company, best handled in the introduction each hour and at the end credits of each hour.
KDHX ID and Credit Language for PRX Syndication:
Replace the standard ID with something that can be used on any station:
"You're listening to [Show Title] on 88.1 KDHX," becomes You're listening to [Show Title] produced in the studios of KDHX in St. Louis.
End of hour message: "[Show Title] is produced in the studios of KDHX in St. Louis, with support from our listeners, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, distributed by PRX the Public Radio Exchange. I'm [Host Name], thank you for listening."
