Why does PBS provide extended off-air rights for programs that are available for purchase through PBS Educational Media?
PBS predicates the negotiation of extended off-air recording rights on the needs of educators to use programming at a time when it is applicable to their curricula. Off-air recording rights that are extended beyond 10 days allow teachers time to record and preview a program, test its appropriateness in their lessons, and make an informed recommendation for purchase of a recording and/or an extended license from the copyright holder. PBS Educational Media continues to provide quality program packages for educators beyond what a self-made recording can provide. PBS program packages often include classroom resources, such as teacher’s guides, indexes helping teachers locate pertinent segments of a program easily, and even teaching aids such as graphs or charts. Furthermore, rights for PBS Educational Media products often extend well beyond one year and have fewer limitations than off-air recording rights.
