The split

Viewer-weighted. Not just airtime.

Prime-time content that pulls 300 viewers earns more than overnight content with 2. Here's the math on a $145 creator fund.

How your share is calculated
1Add up all advertiser revenue for the month and subtract payment processing fees.
2Take 15% of what's left — that's the creator fund.
3For each block you aired: duration (minutes) × average concurrent viewers = your viewer-minutes.
4Your payout = your viewer-minutes ÷ total viewer-minutes across all creators × creator fund.

Example only. Actual payouts depend on monthly ad revenue and viewership.

Payouts vary each month based on ad revenue and channel viewership — the more viewers your content pulls, the larger your cut.

What we air

Local. Original. Yours.

We're open to almost anything made in or about Houston. A few examples of what fits the channel:

Live music & performances Short films & comedy Art & animation Local sports & culture Cooking & food Talk & interview Community events DIY & how-to
✦
Your content stays yours. We license a non-exclusive broadcast window on LocalStream — you keep full ownership and can post your content anywhere else. We need the right to air it on the channel and nothing more. A simple one-page license covers it.
