On the day

Is the interview live?

No, we pre-record all of our interviews to make sure they run smoothly and there are no legal issues. We record the interviews as live to avoid any editing, so we can get the content on air and to you ASAP.

What happens during the interview?
You’ll have a short discussion led by the host – a quick intro and a few questions. Maintain eye contact with the camera when speaking. The host is listening to your answers and will follow up with any questions.

Remember, it’s an insightful conversation, not an interrogation, so enjoy it! Our hosts want to make you look good.

Can I show videos or images?
Please check with our producer ahead of time; we can advise on what’s possible.

After your interview

When will it air?

After recording, your interview is scheduled for broadcast on Ticker News. You’ll receive an email confirming timing.

How often will it air?

All interviews are broadcast on the Ticker News channel. Licensed interviews may include extended replay, articles or additional distribution depending on the package selected.

Will I receive a copy of the interview?

Guests who choose to purchase a licence for their interview receive a professionally produced, broadcast-quality MP4 video for use across their own channels. Interviews without a purchased licence do not include a video copy.

Licensing and using your clip

Do all guests appear on Ticker for free?

Guests selected for editorial interviews appear on Ticker News at no cost as part of our news programming. Guests may also choose to license their interview clip – a paid option that provides a broadcast-quality video for use across websites, LinkedIn and other marketing channels. Licensing helps fund production through Ticker Studios, as Ticker operates independently of traditional advertising.

What can I do with a licensed clip?

You can share your interview on LinkedIn, websites, social media, presentations, events and internal communications, showcasing your appearance on television with full usage rights.

Can I screen record or reuse the broadcast without a licence?

No. Screen recording or republishing broadcast footage without a licence breaches our copyright policy and compromises video quality. Licensed clips are professionally mastered and cleared for reuse.

Where can I view packages and pricing?
Visit our Content Licensing FAQs page for full details.

You can find our Content Packages here.

Cancellations and rescheduling

How do I cancel or change my time?

You can decline or delete the calendar invite at any time, and your booking will be automatically removed from our schedule.

If you wish to reschedule, simply rebook via the Ticker Guest Portal.

You don’t need to notify us separately. Once you cancel or reschedule through the calendar, our team is automatically updated.

What if Ticker cancels?
On rare occasions, such as breaking news, technical reasons or if our program runs over time, we may cancel a slot. You’ll receive an email acknowledgement and we will contact you to rebook if we wish to follow up the story.
