TRAFFIC FAQ - VIACOM MEDIA NETWORKS (VMN)
Copy revisions can be made for the next available log. We require spots and clearance to be in place when the revision is made. For any urgent requests, please reach out to VMN_Copy_MGMT@viacom.com.
Even after a spot is purged, the ISCI/Ad-ID remains in our system. For legal reasons, VMN needs to retain access to this information. We cannot jeopardize the integrity of the networks by taking a chance that the wrong spot may air. For this reason, please provide a new ISCI/Ad-ID for all new spots
Commercials should be delivered 5 business days prior to first air date. Commercials should be cleared by S&P before they are sent to the NOC for air.
Even though all Viacom Media networks fall under the same umbrella their log schedules are set up according to that network's business. Program changes, sellout levels and Kid Vid can all impact the log schedules However most of the schedules are similar.
No. VMN shares spots across all networks.
On this website, you will find a section that describes in detail what VMN requires for air materials.

The turn-around time for Digital Delivery is 4 - 6 hours. Even if a spot is sent 1 hour RUSH, it still takes time to hit our servers and each spot is received in the order it was sent.
