There will be 156 programs available, enough for a full year of broadcasting (3 times weekly) . With the addition of some transcribed music you can build each show to fit a full 15-minute spot, if the advertiser wants a more varied type of program. The show is complete, with some excellent merchandising tie-ins that you can spring after it has established itself on the air.
